Lynx overview

What is Lynx?

Lynx is a student bus scheduling and fleet maintenance platform for school districts and bus contractors. The cloud-based platform offers features including GPS tracking, online trip ticketing, routing, fuel tracking, driver management, a web portal for staff, driver web portal for inspections and viewing routes, and integration with student information systems (SIS) for safe and secure student transport.

Lynx users can create bus routes using the drag and drop interface, adding and removing individual students to reflect changes in daily pick-up and drop-off schedules. Special circumstances relating to students on each route can be added such as allergies, medical concerns, special needs, and custody issues.

Create full routing scenarios with your student data, i.e. completely from scratch!

Lynx maintains a record of parent or guardian contact details, as well as route times and home location to help maintain the safety and security of passengers. Reminders of changes to students' normal routing schedule, such as vacations, appointments, and alternative pick-up routines, can be added to ensure all students are accounted for on each trip.

With Lynx's fuel tracking feature, users can see miles per gallon data and information on when and where each tank refill took place. The bus maintenance feature provides reports on vehicle maintenance, depreciation, open work orders, inspection schedules, and more.
