Simplify Your Vendor Selection: The Ultimate Evaluation Template for School Districts

Table of Contents

Choosing the right technology partner for your school district’s transportation needs is no small task. From GPS tracking, routing to scheduling and parent communication, today’s solutions offer an overwhelming range of features — and it’s easy to miss critical details during the decision-making process. 

That’s exactly why we created our Vendor Evaluation Template

This comprehensive, ready-to-use checklist is built specifically for K–12 school districts to help you evaluate and compare transportation technology vendors side by side. It covers everything from core daily operation tools to integration capabilities, compliance and security standards, analytics and reporting, training and support, hardware requirements, and pricing structures — all in one place. 

Instead of scattered notes, complex spreadsheets, and back-and-forth emails, you’ll have a clear, structured, and standardized process that keeps your evaluations consistent and unbiased. 

Why school districts would love this template: 

  • Saves hours of research by guiding you through every critical evaluation category 
  • Covers GPS tracking, routing, scheduling, student safety, and more 
  • Highlights integration needs with your SIS, communication platforms, and routing software 
  • Includes checkpoints for vendor experience, support quality, and hidden cost red flags 
  • Keeps your evaluation team aligned and confident in their final decision 

Whether you’re at the start of your search or narrowing down your shortlist, this template helps you gather the right information and choose the vendor that best fits your district’s needs. 

Make your vendor selection process faster, clearer, and stress-free.
