The Busology Tech Pre- and Post-Inspection solution allows drivers to identify issues before children board the bus and technicians to resolve issues at the end of the day, prior to the next route.
This means buses leave the yard on time, and you can be confident that you’re providing safe school transportation
Daniel is the Fleet Manager for a school bus transportation organization. It’s his job to make sure the buses are fit for students and the road, and to manage the maintenance activities of the fleet. With so many school buses to manage, this is a complicated job and it was sometimes difficult to stay organized.
Now however, the Busology Tech solution the company had just implemented to help address a number of challenges they face is making things a lot more efficient and manageable. Bus inspections are a critical part of the service. It directly impacts the safety of students. With the Busology Tech solution, pre-and post-inspection processes are now a breeze.
Drivers enjoy easy, mandatory checklists on their tablets, and Daniel has access to this information in real-time. From his desk, Daniel can see the health of the buses and assess the required maintenance for the mechanics before the next route. At the end of the day, the company’s mechanics are ready for the buses as they come into the yard. The procedure, now digital, eliminates confusion and allows better communication between Daniel, the drivers, and the mechanics, preventing disruptions to future routes. Most importantly, students ride school buses that Daniel is confident are safe.
Kristin is a new bus driver with a large city school district. She is in her 30s and is accustomed to working in digital environments, rather than manual, paper-based ones. As she learns the ropes as a school bus driver, she discovers that her agency is completely on board with digital environments and the communication of real-time information. “It’s the only way to go these days,” Kristin thinks, as she boots up the tablet in her bus to begin the day’s safety checklist.
Kristin understands the importance of these checklists. She wants to keep her riders safe just as much as the district does. Before she can begin her route, Kristin goes through her pre-journey checklist on the tablet. Everything seems to be in order for a safe and on-time route this morning. She finishes the checklist and starts the engine.
Carol knows there is at least one school bus that will need some care when it is returned to the yard from its route today. The driver’s pre-route checklist was fine this morning, but the remote diagnostics that the Busology Tech solution allowed the Fleet Manager to run while the bus was on the road indicated a couple of areas could use some proactive maintenance. There is no safety concern at this time, but the school district likes to go above and beyond and nip any potential issues in the bud. This way buses stay on the road, there are no delays, and students remain safe.
Carol quickly accesses the post-route checklist to begin the normal safety checklist for all buses returning to the yard. She will then address the proactive maintenance on the bus in question and add the work completed to her digital notes.
“Here they come,” Carol says to herself as she sees the first few buses pull into the yard. “I’m more than ready.”
The solution is embedded right on your driver tablet and allows you to digitally check off items as you complete them. The information is automatically transmitted to those who need to see the completed checklist, and you are able to get on your way on time.
You may put notes into the system when running your post-route checklist and identify any concerns. Your supervisor has access to this information at any time.
