What do the schools have to say about the TIMS system?

“Under a manual system, I don’t believe we would have been able to make the changes that we made in lee county in the last five years. Time would not permit it.” - Lee County School System

“We have reduced our fleet of buses by 7, our daily route hours by 47.1 per day, and mileage by 877.8 per day while transporting an increased number of students.” - Onslow County School System

“Plots and reports have been used by and or generated for real estate companies, 911 planners, bond referendum committee members, teacher orientation and, of course, all schools.” - Gaston County School System

“We were able to demonstrate the need for staggering school opening and closing times. We are using TIMS to redistrict over 60 percent of our students.” - Randolph County School System

“By obtaining optimal routing through TIMS, we have reduced gas consumption and general maintenance of buses.” - Alamance County School System

“Maps, stop lists, and bus runs were an impressive addition to open-houses in all schools prior to opening.” - Forsyth County School System

“We reduced from 59 buses last year, to 54 buses this year. We are transporting 2,262 children this year, compared to 2,240 last year.” - Madison County School System
