For school districts
Catalyst supports district operations with real-time fleet visibility, accountable safety systems, and cost management tools. Administrators can track buses, monitor on-time performance, access compliance documentation and make data-driven decisions about routing, staffing and fleet investment. Centralized notifications keep staff informed without requiring manual outreach.
For guardians and families
BusZone gives families near real-time bus tracking, arrival notifications and delay notifications on their phones. Parents can know where the bus is and when to expect it, which removes the daily guesswork that erodes confidence in a transportation program.
For drivers and bus monitors
Clear route guidance, real-time dispatch communication and driving habit insights through Samsara help drivers stay on schedule and improve over time. The technology supports drivers rather than surveilling them, feeding performance data into coaching conversations that make the job safer and more manageable.
