What EZRouting is
EZRouting is a student transportation management system for school districts planning routes and handling daily operational changes. Its AI-powered route generation considers bell times, mileage, and student transit times. Dispatch tools support route consolidation, driver or vehicle substitutions, and turn-by-turn updates to driver tablets. Districts can alert parents and guardians about delays or route changes by email, SMS, or app notification. SafeDriver360 combines hands-free navigation, student scans, and pre-trip inspections on a tablet. Other tools manage driver certifications, leave requests, geofenced timesheets, and student riding eligibility based on SIS data and district policy. The suite also provides GPS-enabled fleet visibility and ridership tracking, along with workflows for activity trip requests, approvals, driver assignments, and invoicing. Pathwise describes the product as cloud-based and reports 99% uptime. It supports Android, iOS, and web. Pathwise says it provides training and support, but does not list a price; prospective customers are directed to contact sales for pricing information.
