Pathalyst consultants engage directly with your transportation department to determine the scope of the routing efficiency study. The Pathalyst consultants will gather bus stop loads, school times and transportation policy information. The required information is often available in your current transportation management system. This information is validated and loaded into the Pathalyst ToolSuite by Pathalyst professionals. A highly efficient routing design is developed using the Pathalyst advanced routing algorithms. These results are presented to the district and define the savings potential available.

The Pathalyst consultants then collaborate with the transportation department and operations leadership at the school district to establish savings targets for implementation. The Pathalyst team understands that operational slack is required to deliver reliable service and will tailor their route designs to align with district objectives. The school district may decide to implement the savings over several years. The school district is in complete control of the actual savings objective.

The Pathalyst team will then use the Pathalyst ToolSuite and algorithms to generate a route design that is both highly efficient and meets the districts savings and operational directives. After verification, this route design is entered into the district’s current operating solution, eliminating disruption and training that would be required if a new system were implemented.

The Pathalyst solution guarantees the delivery of actual savings during implementation and operation of the new route design. If savings are not achieved, you don’t pay for the service. This is the only risk free route optimization service available today.
