ABOUT THIS SESSION
Every Route Has a Price Tag. Are You Paying Too Much?
Most districts know their transportation budget is large. Fewer realize how much of it is being quietly lost to inefficient routing, buses running half-empty, routes that haven’t been re-evaluated in years, and reactive decisions that add cost without adding value.
In this session, Albert Samora, Executive Director of Transportation at Denver Public Schools, joins EverDriven’s Greg Jackson to break down how smarter routing, right-sized vehicles, and strategic use of alternative transportation can cut waste and reclaim budget, without sacrificing student access. Watch the recording to get a practical framework you can apply in your district right away.
WATCH THE RECORDING TO LEARN HOW TO:
- Identify where inefficient routing is silently inflating your transportation budget, and the data signals to look for first.
- Apply a right-sizing framework to match the right vehicle to the right trip, reducing underutilization, cutting per-ride costs, and improving overall fleet performance.
- Connect every routing decision to a budget outcome, and understand why technology-driven optimization only works when paired with experienced human oversight.
- Shift from reactive to strategic transportation management, so vehicle selection, routing efficiency, and service flexibility work together, not against your budget.
