Questions School Districts Ask

Does it replace our routing software?

No. Maximizer works beside your routing, GPS, telematics, ridership, fleet, and cost systems. It turns those inputs into scores, insights, and scenarios you can act on.

Is this a bus tracking app?

No. Telematics can feed Maximizer, but the product is not a parent-facing live bus map. The output is operational and financial intelligence for district decisions.

What does a district need to start?

Start with the data you already have: routing, ridership, fleet, cost, bell schedule, or service data. Exports are enough to begin; API feeds can come later. Maximizer can also connect directly to sources like weather, traffic, and telematics, so those signals arrive without extra work from your team.

How are savings estimates calculated?

Bus IQ’s proprietary savings methodology draws on two decades of real-world work across public-sector transportation, corporate finance, and advanced data science. That work includes initiatives tied to more than $50M in savings and cost avoidance. Opportunities are measured against your district baseline, cost structure, utilization, service rules, and operating trends, then tracked from estimate to captured value.

Does this cut driver jobs?

No. Most school districts are short drivers, not overstaffed. Savings come from miles, utilization, spare capacity, overtime, service design, and contracts rather than headcount. If a scenario affects staffing, Maximizer shows that clearly before anything moves forward.

How long does a pilot last?

A focused pilot is designed to run in 30 days after data handoff, and much of it can run on historical data you already have. The process is straightforward: collect available data, establish your baseline, identify opportunities, and review modeled findings.
