Safety – It is not just a word but an emotion that is at the crux for everyone, be it parents, school districts, or students. According to the Mott Poll Report by the University of Michigan Health, one in three parents worry about their child’s safety when their kids come and go to school. In a recent study by The Harris Poll, 75% of parents mentioned they wished they could track their child’s transportation to and from school and get updates through their mobile phone.
Student transportation plays a pivotal role in the education ecosystem. As the school transportation industry has evolved, the integration of technology has become increasingly crucial in enhancing safety, efficiency, and transparency. This blog explores how Busology Tech, a transportation technology company, is a pioneer in its industry and helps enhance safety in the school transportation industry through its cutting-edge software solutions
