Reducing Costs with ParaMax®

Today, every dollar counts. That is especially true when it comes to education dollars. ALC can save a school district 20-30% on average using ParaMax, ALC's proprietary route optimization technology to "right size the route" and "right size the fleet."


ParaMax

ALC's ParaMax technology reduces school transportation costs by analyzing all routes, to "right size the route" and "right size the fleet."
  • Right Size the Route
     By running real-time route optimization algorithms to maximize route productivity and vehicle utilization, ALC "right sizes the route." More efficient routes translate into reduced costs for the school district, and a reduction in the amount of time special needs students spend in transit to and from school.

  • Right Size the Fleet
     By establishing the most efficient blend of buses and fully-compliant vans, ALC "right sizes the fleet." This means matching the right vehicle with the right trip, and more importantly it means no longer paying for unused capacity.

  • Green is Good
     Reducing the size and number of vehicles on the road lowers your costs and contributes to an overall reduction in your carbon footprint.


ParaMax Dispatch

ParaMax establishes the most optimal route and then adjusts as needed to respond to the dynamic nature of your special needs population, whether it be same-day cancellations, seasonal adjustments, or new requests (i.e. McKinney-Vento students).

Our proprietary route optimization and GPS-based dispatching technology - used in conjunction with the vehicle's wireless mobile data terminals - supports minute-by-minute agility, pin-point accuracy and ultimate responsiveness in routing, dispatching, tracking and status.


The Result

Flexible resources that are more responsive to the needs of your students - and costs that decrease as your productivity and efficiency increase.

What They're Saying...

"Due to various circumstances, we ended up transitioning to ALC during the busiest time of the school year - the final six weeks. While this wasn't the most ideal scenario, ALC really stepped-up to the plate and did everything in their power to achieve as smooth a transition as possible. We are grateful for their hard work and diligence in making this partnership work."
