Transportation Rich Bagdonas, Vice President of Business Development AI is a very exciting development
and as with all new technologies the road
map is still being developed. Quicker routing solutions and “on the fly” routing systems promise to further enhance efficiencies on how the buses are utilized. We are already seeing technology with respect to safety improvements such as automatic de-throttling based on posted speed. We don’t feel automatous driving will be a reality for school buses. However, augmented driving systems designed to assist the driver with making split second decisions faster and safer. • Number of students transported daily: 100,000 • Number of vehicles operated (buses and vans): 2,440
• Number of states/provinces served: 1 (Ontario)

Trans Group Tim Flood, Executive Vice President, Trans Group LLC Artificial intelligence will
play a transformative role in transportation software by enhancing efficiency, safety and
decision-making. AI can optimize routing in real-time, reducing fuel consumption and travel time, while adapt- ing to traffic, weather, or unexpected events. Predictive maintenance powered by AI will help prevent break- downs by analyzing vehicle data to detect issues early. AI can also improve safety through video analytics, iden- tifying risky driving behaviors or potential hazards. In planning and logistics, AI will streamline scheduling and resource allocation, balancing cost and service needs. Overall, AI will make transportation systems smarter, more responsive and cost-effective. • Number of students transported daily: 70,000 • Number of vehicles operated (buses and vans): 1,350
• Number of states served: 1 (New York) ●
