Orange County Public Schools will use
Versatrans solution to increase routing efficiency
Tyler Technologies Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that it has
signed an agreement with Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) in
Orlando, Florida, for Tyler’s Versatrans Routing & Planning™
solution. The school district will use several Versatrans modules
including e-Link, Onscreen, My Stop, and Triptracker to manage its
fleet of school buses.
OCPS is the fourth largest school district in the state and
includes 196 schools serving a student population of 69,000. OCPS
underwent an extensive RFP process to evaluate vendors that would
help bring efficiency in routing and product integration to the
district. After evaluating several solutions, OCPS selected Tyler
because of its company strength and Versatrans for its product-rich
features.
“Being such a large district, we needed a comprehensive solution
that could effectively manage our staff, our schools, and our
extensive fleet of school buses and drivers in a streamlined way,”
said Jeffrey Strobach, enterprise project manager for OCPS. “We
were impressed by all of the features of Tyler’s Versatrans
solutions that will work together to deliver exactly what we need,
meeting the needs of our staff, parents and students. We look
forward to working with Tyler on the implementation to bring much
needed efficiency to our district.”
Tyler’s Versatrans Routing & Planning solution will equip
OCPS with comprehensive core features and robust reporting tools,
helping to improve the district’s overall efficiency. OCPS can use
the Versatrans e-Link online student transportation portal to keep
parents well informed about transportation issues. The tool also
offers parents an easy-to-use interface so they can obtain
information securely online. E-Link works together with the
Versatrans My Stop mobile app to display the location of the user’s
assigned school bus, as well as the estimated time of arrival to
his or her stop. Versatrans Onscreen will integrate with the
district’s GPS data to give visibility to all vehicle locations and
offer real-time data on driver activity and on time performance.
Finally, Versatrans Triptracker will help the district schedule and
plan field trips simply and easily, managing aspects like trip
request, fulfillment, staffing, administration, and billing all
through a single portal. Triptracker also allows for email
notifications to keep approvals moving and eliminates the need for
paper-based requests.
“We’re pleased that Orange County Public Schools has selected
several modules within Versatrans,” said Ted Thien, vice president
of Tyler’s transportation solutions group. “Each will work together
to bring a wealth of information concerning school bus routing to
staff, parents, and students so that OCPS can better serve its
community. Having been the standard for small and medium-sized
districts for more than 15 years, the addition of OCPS solidifies
Tyler’s presence in the largest school districts.”
Tyler’s routing products are used by approximately 30% of the
100 largest school districts in the U.S. including Portland Public
Schools in Oregon and Dallas Independent School District in Texas.
Its routing products are also used in all Canadian provinces and by
the entire province of British Columbia.
Tyler recently became the largest provider of school
transportation management solutions, which include its Versatrans
and Traversa solutions. The company has more than 2,000 active
school districts and bus contractors in the U.S. and Canada.
