MENTOR - Performance, Planning & Preparation
If student transportation is strategically managed, it can yield significant savings - without reducing the level of service your constituents have come to expect. The challenge is to find the right executive leadership to innovate, executive and sustain the strategy.
Few districts can afford the luxury of having a full-time transportation planning executive staff, yet the need for continued strategic leadership in this department is critical for performance, planning and preparation.
In order to provide you with the strategic leadership this department demands, TransPar has developed a service that adds efficiencies, not employees. It combines the expertise of our staff with the experience we have gained with more than 100 clients nationwide - both district-owned and contracted fleets - and is focused on maximizing the opportunities available to you for savings and service.
Additionally, school administrators are demanding a high degree of fiscal and operational accountability and responsibility in their transportation departments. Compliance with school fiscal policy, transportation polices, the labor agreement, and state reimbursement rules are essential. Deviations – whether intentional or accidental – can become problematic for all involved.
Transportation is typically a difficult area for school finance staff to effectively audit, as the bus program does not fit within the same mold of other educational programs. TransPar has helped many districts work out of misappropriations, compliance violations and runaway spending programs. We know what to look for, and highlight it before it becomes a crisis.
More and more, school districts nationwide are turning to independent experts for transportation advice, audits, and other resources because they understand there is more to the cost of responsible student transportation than just economics. Balancing cost savings with the least amount of disruption and public outcry is no easy task. Finding that "sweet spot" is what we do, and we’re prepared to help your district make the adjustments necessary to attain just the right balance – for your students, their parents, your staff, and your budget.
As a unique resource in the student transportation industry, TransPar's MENTOR Program provides solid solutions to any type of school transportation issue.
