District Says 'No Looking Back' After Using Artificial Intelligence Routing System

#artificialintelligence

One day Butch Sargent was contacted by the Jasper Police, telling him about a disturbance in a certain area. "I don't want anyone to think Jasper's unsafe but we had a police problem one afternoon and a whole community was shut down," recalls Sargent, transportation director at Jasper City School District in Alabama, located about 40 miles northwest of Birmingham. "They called to tell me what blocks to shut down and I was able to reroute those students" in the affected areas. Routefinder PLUS made the difference because it is so user-friendly. It's been a baptism by fire for Sargent.
