Unified Transportation Software

The agency is seeking a unified transportation software system to manage maintenance, routing, field trips, navigation, and real-time tracking. This system must enhance safety, efficiency, and accountability across the transportation operations. The agency requires a solution that supports custom role-based permissions, automated monthly map updates, and nightly data synchronization with any student information system. The scope of work covers advanced routing and communication features, including drag-and-drop visual map editing and computer-assisted route consolidation with manual override capabilities. The software must auto-generate routes based on parameters like maximum distance, bus capacity, and time on board. It must also facilitate mass edits, pop-up alerts for critical student information, and student ridership tracking via system-generated QR or bar codes. The requested system must feature robust communication tools, including automated email and text alerts for staff and parents regarding route adjustments and late buses. The agency requires a parent application for Android and iOS, alongside a web portal, to allow parents to track buses, view ridership history, and request changes. Additionally, the software must support unlimited, customizable approval levels for trip requests based on specific criteria and locations. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The selected vendor will perform all work offsite. The agency is requesting budget proposals for a contract period of one year. Bidders must submit all questions no later than June 11, 2026, and the final response can be submitted digitally via email or online.
