About RouteABus

School bus routing and mapping from a GIS firm

Citygate GIS, an information technology company with more than 30 years behind it by its own account, makes RouteABus for planning school bus routes on a map. Schools use it to schedule pickups and drop-offs and to display routes and stops.

School boundaries and redistricting

Beyond day-to-day routes, users can create school boundaries and build redistricting plans. That makes it a tool for planning changes to attendance zones as well as for running buses.

Its public sector clients range from small municipalities to state and federal levels, and its private consulting clients include utilities and corporations of different sizes.
