ROUTING & BELL TIMES

Routing Efficiency and Bell Time Reviews

Management Partnership Services’ routing efficiency and bell time analyses are designed to reduce the cost of transportation by focusing on the most important factor: minimizing the number of buses in use. We have designed a comprehensive array of services designed to evaluate the efficiency of your school bus operation and recommend viable and practical changes to reduce the total number of school buses required. Our services focus on helping clients understand how the interaction between transportation policies, bus routing practices, school times, and the use of transportation technology influences the cost and quality of services provided.

If you have ever faced the following questions, MPS’ routing services can help you.

• Why does transportation cost so much?
• Are our school bus routes efficient?
• Why are our buses half empty?
• Why are our students on the buses for so long?
• Can we start the high school later so that students can get more sleep?
• Can we reduce the number of buses we use?
• How much will a new charter school or magnet program cost?
• Can we share buses with a neighboring school district?

Our routing analysis services are designed to do more than just look at your bus routes. MPS can help you understand transportation costs in a way that identifies the underlying cause of any inefficiency. Our staff of former transportation directors and experienced consultants will work with you to develop solutions that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your school bus transportation program.
