Built around Massachusetts 7D regulation.
Busitive
Operations software for 7D student transportation

Paper doesn’t hold up. Records do.

Busitive runs the full operational stack for 7D operators — daily ride execution, parent visibility, fleet control, district billing, and compliance — on one record that answers every question.

One operation. One spine.

Not a grid of features. Each part of the day writes into the same record — so what the driver does in the van is what the parent sees, what the mechanic acts on, and what the district gets billed.

01
Execution
Drivers run the day from the app: inspection, route, one-tap attendance at every door.
02
Parent visibility
Pickup and drop-off notifications fire from the attendance record, the moment they happen.
03
Fleet
A failed inspection item takes the van off the road until the defect is repaired.
04
Billing
Rides become invoice lines under the district’s exact rate rules. No re-keying.
05
Compliance
Credentials, registrations, and inspections tracked as structure — not sticky notes.
Driver app

The app can’t ask your driver for a tap while the van is moving. By design.

Massachusetts’s device-use law isn’t a checkbox in a settings menu. The driver app is built around the vehicle’s actual operating states — parked, loading, en route. Attendance is one tap per student at the door. Inspections are the clock-in and the clock-out. And it all works in dead zones, because routes don’t wait for signal.

Parked
Full interface. Inspections, attendance, notes.
Loading
One-tap per-student boarding at the door.
En route
Screen locked. Navigation only. No prompts, no taps.
Built for the 7D world

Generic fleet software doesn’t know what a PUPIL plate is.

Busitive was designed around the rules 7D operators actually run under. The specifics aren’t edge cases to us — they’re the schema.

Device-use law, structural
The driver app locks itself around vehicle operating states. Compliance isn’t a policy memo — it’s the interface.
PUPIL plates & 7D equipment
The vehicle registry knows wheelchair lifts, harness points, child-reminder systems, and plate renewals.
District rate schedules
Mileage vs. floor schedules, monitor and wheelchair modifiers — modeled exactly, per contract.
Absence dispositions
No-show at the door and parent-reported absence bill differently. The record knows which one happened.
Payroll-ready hours
Pre-trip clocks drivers in, post-trip clocks them out. Every shift ends with hours you can run payroll on — device-captured, skew-checked, dispute-ready.
Routing without the buzzwords
Deterministic constraint optimization with a clear path to learned exception-handling. No black boxes.
Parent app

Parents see the van. You stop fielding the calls.

Live vehicle tracking on the parent’s phone. A notification the moment their student boards, and another at drop-off. Absences reported in the app, not by voicemail at 6 AM.

Every notification comes from the driver’s actual attendance record — the same record that answers the district later.

District billing

When a district disputes an invoice, your records answer.

Rate schedules modeled exactly as districts write them — mileage or floor, monitor and wheelchair modifiers, absence dispositions. Every invoice line traces back to a ride, a student, and a timestamp.
