STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY

Every student’s needs, on every trip

Students with disability need to be able to rely on their trip to school, every day. With TaxiCaller each student’s needs travel with them: a wheelchair place, a harness, an escort or supervisor with their own address, a driver the student knows, and who can travel with whom. Planning takes the requirements into account, the driver sees them at every stop, and nothing falls through the cracks when something changes.

“What I value most about TaxiCaller is the combination of support, flexibility and simplicity. If something changes, I can move a whole afternoon to another vehicle without changing every trip on its own. It saves an enormous amount of time and gives me full control. In our work, with daily services and special schools, every trip has to be right, so the system has to work with me, not against me.”
Anne Karlsson, dispatcher, Busspecialisten (Sweden)

Custom properties

You decide which needs there are

  • Transport for passengers and students with disability can come with many requirements. Create a property, for example Needs, and add the needs you work with.
  • The same needs are set on vehicles and drivers, so the system knows who can take what.
  • Needs that are requirements steer assignment: only vehicles and drivers that meet them are suggested.

Customised booking view

The booking view built around your work

  • Drag your own fields into the booking view, with no programming.
  • Products such as a seat or a wheelchair place, and your own needs as requirements for the trip.
  • Name every field yourself, so the system uses your terms.
  • Dispatchers only see the fields you need.

Dispatch

See every trip and step in before anything runs late

Follow your vehicles live, assign jobs by hand or automatically, and set up dispatch to match the way you work.

  • Every vehicle on the map, with its position and status in real time.
  • Estimated arrival times (ETAs) recalculated all along the route.
  • An alert when a stop is at risk of running late, so you can let the school, the carer or the passenger know in time.
  • Move, change and reassign jobs straight away.
  • Edit many bookings at once.
  • Taxi, hire car, school runs, NDIS and patient transport in one system.

Regular trips

Off sick? The whole week cancelled in seconds

  • Each passenger’s recurring bookings in a calendar, week by week.
  • Select days or the whole week and cancel every trip with one click.
  • The change shows in dispatch straight away.

Escorts

The escort comes along, from their own address

  • Add an escort to a student’s regular trips, with name, phone number and their own address.
  • The escort is picked up before the student and dropped off after, in the same vehicle.
  • The escort’s times are worked out from the student’s and can be changed for a single day.
  • Cancel the student’s trip and the escort’s is cancelled too.

The driver app for shared runs

School runs and disability transport, stop by stop

  • Seat types and tags are set up to suit your business, with your own names and as many as you need.
  • Call parents and carers straight from the run.
  • Check passengers in and out one at a time, or all at once.

Planning tools that make it simple

Transporting students with different needs often means specialist equipment, dedicated drivers, escorts or fixed routines. With TaxiCaller you handle all of it automatically:

Drivers get the information about each student in the driver app, and clear instructions make for efficient, tailored trips. You record each student’s needs, the system plans and builds the route. Fast, accurate and scalable.

Control of the details means fewer misunderstandings, fewer wrong trips and fewer calls from parents. You build trust, give reassurance and make every day one where children and parents feel respected. Without stress or confusion.

Safe and sustainable transport for students with disability

Optimised routes do more than shorten trips: distances fall and fewer vehicles are needed. For you that means:

And students get a more predictable trip, without stress or needless waiting.
