1 Student Tracking & Auto Relay Systems (STARS) Integrating student and transportation asset tracking with intelligent Geographic Information Systems

2 Knowing where our children are empowers us to ensure their safety and security In the United States, public transportation provides an estimated 10 billion student trips every year. Each school day, nearly a half million school buses transport 26 million children to and from schools, covering over 4.3 billion miles on the road. Over the past 11 years, school buses have averaged 26,000 accidents annually, yet making school buses the safest method of transportation. With the ever-increasing volume of students using school buses as their means of transportation, it s imperative to reassess existing standards and bring them into the 21st Century by utilizing the latest innovations in tracking, communications, and GIS technology. Keeping these goals in focus, Ecomonix, an Esri Partner, has collaborated with the private and public sectors to provide innovative student GIS tracking and management system Student Tracking & Auto Relay System (STARS). Now, student transportation providers, parents, and school officials have real-time knowledge of student whereabouts and can dispatch immediate assistance, if needed.
