Vehicles

Purpose

The Vehicles module is where you record your school's transport fleet — each bus or van's registration number, seating capacity, and current driver and route assignment. This is the foundation Routes and live tracking build on, since a route needs a real vehicle attached to it before it can run trips.

When to Use

• When setting up transport for the first time.
• When a new vehicle joins the fleet, or an old one is retired.
• When you need to check a vehicle's capacity against how many students are assigned to its route.
• When reassigning a vehicle to a different route or driver.

How to Use

1. Open Vehicles from the Transport section of the Admin Panel.

2. Review the current fleet list, with each vehicle's registration number and assigned route.

3. To add a vehicle, tap Add Vehicle, enter its registration number and seating capacity, and save.

4. Open a vehicle to assign it to a driver and a route — or do this from the Routes screen instead, whichever is more convenient.

5. Update a vehicle's details (like capacity, if seating changes) from its profile.

6. Retire a vehicle no longer in service by deactivating it rather than deleting it, to preserve its trip history.
