BusRight builds technology that runs the nation's largest mass transit system, school buses.
BusRight is a modern school transportation solution for K-12 that leverages both hardware and software products. Designed for districts and private fleet operators, BusRight offers GPS-powered routing, real-time tracking, and intuitive parent and driver apps to enhance efficiency, communication, and safety. Over 200 school systems across the country rely on BusRight to simplify transportation operations, reduce costs, and ensure every student gets to and from school safely.
School districts across the U.S. are facing staffing challenges, daily route changes, and increasing pressure to ensure accountability and student safety. Driver shortages are a chronic and growing problem for schools, which puts heightened pressure on school transportation departments to do more with fewer resources and personnel. At the same time, student transportation logistics have grown more complex: students may not ride the bus every day, after-school programs often alter pickup schedules, and many children split time between multiple households – demanding dynamic, highly personalized routing. And, as parents lack visibility into bus stops, timing, and their child’s location, school offices are frequently overwhelmed with daily parent phone calls.
With over 480,000 school buses transporting children each day, the need for real-time visibility, operational efficiency, and stakeholder transparency has never been greater. The current market is a mix of legacy infrastructure – marked by archaic routing technology and rudimentary communication tools – and greenfield opportunity, as many districts still have not adopted any digital tools. This dynamic creates an opportunity for the sector to undergo a long-overdue digital transformation where innovative, connected platforms will come out on top.
BusRight is pioneering how school districts manage student transportation, quickly emerging as a leading platform for modern routing, safety, and communication. With deep domain expertise and a strong value proposition for districts, drivers, and families, the company is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this under-digitized market.
Over the last few years, the company has scaled efficiently, driven by a lean, high-performing sales team and minimal marketing spend. At its core, the company is laser focused on the customer experience and has continually introduced new products to better serve their needs.
And, the co-founders, Keith Corso (CEO) and Phil Dunn (CPO), have impressed the Volition team since our first meeting – showcasing a strong combination of industry expertise and passion for solving the problems in this legacy category.
