Plan it once. Run it every day.

Routes, live trips and every conversation around them, on the same record.

Draw a route once. Stopsign runs it every school day.

Place stops on a map, assign the bus, driver and aide, and set the times. Stopsign catches conflicts, finds the shortest stop order and keeps directions safe for the bus’s height.

Routes in minutes, not days.

See how
  • Reuse stops across routes, with a warning before you create a duplicate.
  • Build the afternoon route from the morning one.
  • One-click optimization shows the time and distance saved before you apply it.
  • Up to 3 bus-safe directions that avoid low clearances.
  • Double-booked buses, drivers, aides and students are caught before they happen.

    Demo data

Work at a school?Tell your transportation team once. They send one update, and every family on the route hears it.

See how every route is driven.

Vehicles report harsh braking, speeding, unsafe following distance, lane departures and more. Each event is tied to the driver, route and trip, and opens an incident for your review.

Coach the right driver, with the facts.

Driving-safety events need compatible trackers or cameras.

Catch problems before the road does.

Engine faults and warning lights from the vehicle open a maintenance ticket on their own, and the mechanic is told. The daily inspection decides whether a bus can leave.

Fewer breakdowns. A bus that’s ready when the route is.

See how
  • A failed inspection blocks the route until it’s resolved.
  • A ticket takes the bus off the road until it’s fixed.
  • Low-fuel alerts before the route starts.
  • Every repair is logged against the vehicle, with its cost.

The people behind every route.

Leave, attendance, performance and proof, connected to the routes they affect.

Your people, connected to your routes.

Every driver and aide confirms each trip. Call-outs reach qualified staff in minutes. Approve a leave, and Stopsign flags the routes it affects so you can reassign them.

Know who showed up, who’s reliable and who covers what.

See how
  • Trip confirmation before every run, with an alert if nobody answers.
  • Call-outs covered by the first qualified person to say yes.
  • Attendance with lateness and an attendance rate for each person.
  • A performance rating for drivers, aides and mechanics.
  • Leave requests, approvals and a holiday calendar.
  • Licenses and certifications flagged at 90, 60 and 30 days.
Demo dataUrgent staffing request for Route R-07 sent to 14 qualified drivers, with 3 accepted.
Demo dataApproved leave disables 8 of Marcus’s routes and prompts the dispatcher to reassign a driver.

Proof, before anyone asks.

Every inspection, trip, incident and document is time-stamped and tied to a person. Reports stay current, so insurers, inspectors and districts get answers, not a scramble.

Stronger bids. Calmer audits.

See how
  • Digital daily inspections, on record.
  • Incidents with evidence, investigation and corrective actions.
  • A compliance readiness score across people, vehicles and documents.
  • On-time performance, utilization, fuel and safety reports.

We never tag a child.

No cards, no chips, no tracking on students. The aide confirms each student, and Stopsign checks the count against what the bus actually did.

Questions operators ask.

Why not just use a tracker?

A tracker answers one question. You have fifty.

Do we need new hardware?

Usually not. Stopsign works with the trackers and dash cameras many operators already run, and our team handles setup where you have none. Some features need specific vehicles or devices.

Do we need cameras for driving safety?

Driving-safety events need compatible trackers or cameras. Many operators already have them. We’ll check yours during the demo.

Who sees what?

Everyone sees only what their job needs. Parents see their child’s trip. Drivers see their routes. Managers see their company.

Do parents see video?

No. Parents see location, arrival estimate and alerts for their child’s trip.

Can we run more than one depot?

Yes. Each branch has its own routes, staff and vehicles, under one company.

What if the internet drops?

Apps show the last information they had and mark it clearly as out of date. They catch up when the connection returns.

Can schools use it?

Yes. School admins see their routes and students and review incidents.

What does it cost?

Pricing is per vehicle and depends on fleet size. Book a demo and we’ll give you a clear quote.
