Our Partners
IN EXCELLENCE
Transfinder
Transfinder Corporation was founded in 1988. Based in Schenectady, New York, Transfinder is a leader in logistics software that provides intelligent solutions to school districts. Through routing, scheduling, and fleet maintenance solutions, they provide optimal transportation logistics built upon Esri’s industry-leading mapping and geographic information system (GIS) technology to deliver superior location intelligence and logistics management solutions.
School Bus Logistics partners with Transfinder because of their high-quality products and customer service. SBL employees are experts in the software and we use many of them in order to create the best solutions for each district or busing company we work with. Both companies strive for meticulous attention to detail and providing the highest-level output possible.
Urban Recruiting & Consulting
Based in Colorado, Urban Recruiting & Consulting helps school districts and companies overcome challenging and ineffective recruiting and talent acquisition practices by identifying gaps and areas of opportunity. They can help you implement your “Massive Action Plan” and get the talent you need immediately.
We teamed up with Urban to combine our solutions along with top recruiting knowledge to tackle one the biggest challenges school districts face—driver shortages. Once route efficiencies and bell time analyses have been conducted by SBL, Urban can help determine the proper number of drivers your district actually requires.

EVopt from Microgrid Labs
Microgrid Labs (MGL) specializes in helping districts make infrastructure decisions before they bring EV buses to their transportation facilities. This includes fleet electrification transition planning, electricity management, and resilient energy systems using its revolutionary energy modeling platform EVopt. This platform supports the life-cycle of fleet transition — plan, design, build, deploy, operate, and optimize. It leverages a fleet-as-a-system approach to model and simulate energy consumption for the local operating environment, determining the correct bus battery sizes for every route and optimizing the charging system design, which saves capital costs at every phase of electrification. The platform utilizes licensed algorithms and data validation from national labs plus proprietary algorithms co-developed through federal R&D.
Through our efficiency studies and route optimization, SBL can prepare your routes for the transition to an electric fleet, minimizing issues and maximizing your investment. Once routes are optimized, MGL is ready to properly determine battery sizes, chargers needed, if solar is a viable option, range validations, and more. Contact us today to see how you can more confidently begin — or continue — the electrification process.
“Our partners bring the best of their industry to the table so that we can work together for exceptional results for districts.”
