AlphaRoute provides transportation management software, analytics, and consulting for school districts and transit agencies. Its school planning tools include AlphaPlan, which optimizes bus routes, supports automated planning and editing, and manages route changes through district SIS integration. AlphaView gives operations teams a view of live routes, vehicle locations, driver and bus availability, performance metrics, route history, on-time data, and stop-level ridership. Families can use AlphaPortal to request transportation, view student routing information, track buses, and manage notifications. AlphaCom sends transportation updates and delay or route-change alerts by SMS, email, and automated phone calls. Alphie AI responds to plain-language questions about route data, delays, and operational insights. Transit functions include paratransit trip assignment, driver shift scheduling, and microtransit service planning. The Microtransit Planner API can simulate operating models to help determine fleet size, vehicle mix, and driver shifts. AlphaRoute says it integrates with systems such as SIS, EMS, and CRM. It describes safeguards including encryption, access controls, firewalls, and intrusion detection, and says customer success representatives support customers from implementation onward. Pricing is available by requesting a demo.
