About Guardian Route

Guardian Route is an all-in-one software platform for K-12 school transportation. It brings route optimization, live GPS bus tracking, parent communication apps, driver safety scoring, student attendance, field-trip management, and cost analytics together in one system — instead of stitching together separate vendors for each. Its eligibility engine handles walk zones, hazard busing, special-education (IEP) transportation, and McKinney-Vento school-of-origin routing. Native parent, driver, and school-office apps keep everyone informed with live bus ETAs. Built for both school districts and the private contractors who run routes for them, Guardian Route is multi-tenant, integrates with telematics and student information systems (OneRoster/Samsara), and is designed for FERPA compliance.
