BusTracks 2012 User Meeting
We are currently planning this year’s Lancaster User Meeting at the Eden Resort Inn. At this annual meeting of our clients—transportation directors, business managers, and others who use BusTracks—we highlight the new features of the software that have been developed over the past year. The gathering also serves as a forum for users’ suggestions for future improvements to the system, and as a time for school transportation personnel to come together and share ideas on the way they run their operations.

The date and time will be Monday, May 14, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Click here for the registration form.

We are focused on Pennsylvania school districts and their needs during this difficult budget environment. Thank you to all of our current and new customers for allowing us to take the reins.

In just the past few months, six school districts in Pennsylvania have made the decision to go with BusTracks and fully integrate our transportation management system into their school district. Our system, which features transportation management software with mapping and integrated GPS technologies, has been changing the way school districts are dealing with this budget crisis.

BusTracks is focused on working one-on-one with Pennsylvania schools to insure that they meet state requirements. By working directly with Harrisburg, the developers of BusTracks have saved time and reduced costs for our schools.

The success stories have flowed in, one after another. We are proud of our position in helping Pennsylvania school districts and we’d like to say “thank you” for letting us be there during these challenging times.

To learn more about how we can help your school and department, give us a call at 1-800-303-2921 for a demo of our capabilities.
