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.

Benefits of using Lynx

Keeps your school bus routes organized and accessible to staff. Improves route efficiency and saves time and money for the school district. Easy-to-use interface. Accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.

Integration rating: 5.0 (1)

This integration has saved me so much time. The two software programs "talk" nightly so information that has been changed in either program will be updated in the other. With this integration I no longer have to enter the information two times! It is wonderful!

Pros
Start up went great, wonderful training experience, and fantastic support.
I also love the videos that are setup to take you through step by step when you are in unfamiliar areas. I have used other software's that were not user friendly.
What I like most about this software is its ability to manage all the areas of Student Transportation. Transportation is so much more than just knowing where to pick-up and drop-off students.
Cons
Therefore there may be extra time spent undoing things and putting them back to what it was if you remember what you did wrong or lost. This is the greatest obstacle to this software.
The way the phone numbers come in from Skyward are a little off. Quite a few of my students have no phone number entries so I have to go to Skyward to find them under the emergency contact page.
There is a button to click that i just sometimes forget to click and it brings in the home address instead. The box pops up and tells me what to do but it doesn't always get clicked.
