Step into the future of student transportation. Picture rides in your district that anticipate risks before they happen; buses, vans, and alternative vehicles that communicate in real time; and technology that ensures every child you serve—from McKinney-Vento students to daily riders—arrives and leaves school safely, on time, and reliably.
In this 30-minute Ed Talk, Jason Kierna of First Student and Nirav Patel of Samsara will show how AI can transform the school ride into something more than a trip, but into a trusted extension of your classroom. Discover how AI-powered technology elevates safety, gives your families peace of mind, empowers drivers, and helps your district set a new standard for serving students and parents—with care, consistency, and confidence.
