Since we began using Crosswalk K-12, it has been a game changer for us. Just all around with setting up routes, seeing where the buses and students are at, how much they ride, if they're riding. If a parent calls saying that the bus didn't stop, we can look and see that they were there. It has made a huge difference in our district.
