stops are made. Terefore, when a phone call comes in for a missed pick-up, we can verify [the vehicle’s location],” he explained. Next, the district purchased BusHive, the field trip and billing
software, followed by video monitoring cameras. Hutchings concluded that the most critical items were the ones that were purchased first. Hutchings related that while his office staff was eager for the new acquisitions, his drivers were not. “I did a lot of research before I made the purchases. I included my office staff during the final evaluation of my top two picks,” he said. His office staff still loves the tracking software. Hutchings
explained that while the bus drivers “were up in arms at first, they now see how much the new high-tech systems protect them.” Overall, “Student safety is my number one goal. I feel it is
important to be forward thinking and to stay ahead of the curve. I determined that it would save time, money and provide additional safety for our organization.” Looking forward, Hutchings said he sees a future for collision mitigation technology becoming widely used for school buses— but not driver-less buses.
