Turnkey fleet management solution for school fleets

Fleet Complete offers school admins, school bus drivers, parents and student guardians near real-time visibility into the status and location of the bus, and reports on safety and compliance adherence.

Key Features



Visibility

Individual stakeholders can get access into the Fleet Complete system to track and monitor key information, such as estimated time of arrival, departure times, routes and stops, driver safety, engine readings, stop-arm engagement and more.

Post-trip child check

Fleet Complete also can integrate with a Child Check-Mate* switch that the driver must turn off with a press of a button at the back of the bus to finish the trip, helping to standardize post-trip checks and audit reporting.

* Child Check-Mate must be purchased separately.

In 2015, in Houston, two students were killed and three injured in a driving accident, when a school bus swerved off an overpass and landed on its side. Meanwhile in Whitter, in the same year, a student with autism died after being left inside a bus in 96-degree heat because the driver failed to perform the mandatory sweep after completing the route. The school bus driver was sentenced to 2 years in state prison.

According to the 2015-2016 National School Bus Loading and Unloading Survey, 75% of student fatalities, while on their way to or from school, were attributed to the school bus. Those involving ‘other vehicle’ were 25%.
