Driver Communication

Keep Drivers, Dispatch & Transportation Teams Connected

School transportation depends on clear communication between drivers, dispatch, transportation departments, and school administrators. Drivers need a reliable way to communicate while routes are underway, respond to changing conditions, and call for help when an issue becomes an emergency.

 

Powered by T-Mobile's nationwide network, Premier Wireless provides cellular-based communication and safety solutions that help transportation teams stay connected throughout the school day.

Challenges Districts Face Every Day

  • Delayed communication during emergencies
  • Difficulty alerting the right people quickly
  • Limited visibility into where an incident is occurring
  • Communication tools that aren't designed for emergency situations

Challenges Districts Face Every Day

  • Staff working across transportation facilities and school campuses
  • Personnel moving between locations throughout the day
  • Limited access to immediate communication when away from a desk

CASE STUDY

Denver Public Schools Improve Attendance

McKinney-Vento (MV) students often lack secure housing and other essential resources including food, healthcare,internet access and communication. As a result, absenteeism is often high and academic performance is often low.

See how the Premier  CPR³ program has positively impacted over 1,100 MV students in Denver Public Schools.
