Tyler Drive is a comprehensive on-board tablet solution tailored for school transportation management. It offers drivers turn-by-turn navigation to each stop on their route, not just from the bus garage to the school, ensuring route integrity and efficiency. The system integrates with student tracking cards, displaying assigned student information at each stop and alerting drivers to students attempting to board the wrong bus or disembark at an unscheduled location. Additionally, Tyler Drive includes built-in timekeeping features, allowing drivers, aides, and monitors to log in directly from the tablet, helping meet ACA and state requirements. The semi-rugged tablet is mounted on the school bus console, providing a complete on-board solution that also supports pre- and post-trip vehicle inspections.
