Versatrans Can Help Your District Manager Student Transportation
What do you like best?
The ability to upload/download student information directly to the Versatrans server and get out student scheduled to their bus transportation. Setting up the boundaries of the district as to assist in identifying non-resident students.
What do you dislike?
That it takes 72 hrs to get a student added and showing on the route sheets and in our SIS, Infinite Campus program. It would be better if this process was 48 hrs.
Some of our boundaries are varied along roadways and that is tricky sometimes in setting the district eligibility limits of bus ridership. Some of the trouble shooting involved in why a student that is eligible is not getting routed. Sometimes it's on our end, other times it's Versatrans.
