tions in other ways, predicted George Sontag, an Ohio-based school transportation consultant. “I believe the traditional school day will eventually be less
structured and transportation will likely not be a split shift job, but more of a moving of staff and students to programs that are suited to meet the needs of the student population,” he said. “AI will guide this process to make learning more practical and less stringent.”
Cautious Approach When something goes wrong and AI is involved, it re-enforces
the doubts of those who have reservations about its value. Last August’s snafus in Louisville, Kentucky bus routing caught the attention not only of school officials and parents, but also the national media. Even if such incidents are viewed as atypical, many transportation leaders are not yet incorporating AI in their current plans or even if so, prefer to limit its use. That’s the situation from Gilleo’s point of view. Even though she said she’s keen on stop-arm cameras, at this point she’s holding back on automated routing and other advanced appli- cations.
70% of transportation
directors/supervisors stated that they track
vehicle on-time arrival. (Out of 80 responses to a recent STN reader survey.)
