A new and important release of Transfinder school transportation software is scheduled for June 20, 2015. Transfinder Routefinder Pro Version 12.0 is the largest release in the 27-year history of Transfinder, including nearly 40 new features and over 100 enhancements. For example, simultaneous school routing allowing multiple users to route for the same school at the same time, every grid includes a map allowing users to see the grid and the map at the same time, and much more that is user friendly and requires less clicks. The update is free to Maine public school districts. School districts that now use Transfinder are expected to see the change occur by late June.
Maine public school districts that would like to begin using this free transportation software may contact our Maine Transfinder account executive Angela Vitti directly by email at Avitti@transfinder.com to get started.
Maine DOE provides free student routing and transportation management system software to all Maine public schools with Transfinder. The software offers several modules that include school bus fleet maintenance, field trip management, school transportation communication, emergency preparedness planning, and redistricting analysis as well as bus routing – all with the ability to access data anytime and anywhere.
