Description<\/strong>: Artificial intelligence is already embedded in routing, telematics, cameras, and back\u2011office tools\u2014but most transportation teams still see it as a mystery, a threat or simply \u201cthat ChatGPT thing.\u201d In this opening panel, transportation leaders and technologists will cut through the hype to define what AI actually is (and isn\u2019t) today, how vendors are using it, and what it really means for dispatch, fleet management, safety, HR and frontline staff. Panelists will discuss policy and safeguard considerations, strategies for working with IT and vendors, and ways to turn AI into a time\u2011saving thought partner instead of a job\u2011taking fear factor. Attendees will leave with concrete ideas and questions to bring back to their districts and operations. Immediately following this panel, participants will move into focused breakout sessions for deeper dives into AI used as a decision-making tool for bell times, budgeting, dispatch, fleet management, personnel productivity, and safety.<\/p>\n

Speaker: <\/strong>GP Singh<\/p>\n

Description: This breakout explores how AI can support smarter, faster decisions in the dispatch office without replacing the critical human judgment of dispatchers. We\u2019ll look at how AI tools can help with real-time route adjustments, handling last\u2011minute absences, managing field trips, and communicating changes to drivers and families. The discussion will also highlight practical guardrails\u2014what to automate versus what must stay in human hands\u2014and how to work with IT to ensure data security and reliability. Attendees will hear concrete examples of prompts, workflows, and use cases that reduce manual effort and improve responsiveness. The session is designed to be interactive, giving dispatchers and leaders a chance to share current practices, ask questions, and leave with prompts and ideas they can try immediately.<\/p>\n

Speaker: <\/strong>Richard Jimenez<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong>: This breakout focuses on how AI can support personnel decisions, productivity, and professional growth across the transportation team. We\u2019ll look at how leaders are using AI to draft communications, build training materials, create checklists and SOPs, and analyze staffing patterns\u2014while still maintaining human oversight and judgment. The session will emphasize moving beyond \u201cusing AI like Google\u201d toward treating it as a thought partner for problem\u2011solving and decision support. We\u2019ll also discuss safeguards: ethical use, bias, protecting employee and student data, and the importance of clear district policies and training before AI is widely adopted. Attendees will leave with concrete examples of prompts and workflows they can use to save time, support staff, and elevate the strategic work of their departments.<\/p>\n

Speaker: <\/strong>Tim Purvis<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong>: This breakout explores how AI can support smarter, more transparent budgeting decisions in student transportation. We\u2019ll discuss how AI tools can help analyze historical spending, forecast fuel and labor costs, model \u201cwhat if\u201d scenarios (such as adding a route tier or changing bell times), and surface savings opportunities without sacrificing service quality. The session will emphasize guardrails around data privacy, security, and accuracy\u2014how to work with IT and business services to ensure that budget models are grounded in reliable, district\u2011approved data. We\u2019ll also cover how to use AI outputs to communicate more clearly with superintendents, boards, and unions, turning complex budget scenarios into understandable options. Participants will leave with practical examples of prompts and workflows they can use to build budget narratives, compare scenarios quickly, and support more strategic financial planning for their operations.<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong>: This breakout explores how AI can help districts make better decisions about fleet health, lifecycle planning, and day\u2011to\u2011day operations. We\u2019ll discuss using AI to interpret telematics data, maintenance histories, and fuel\/energy use to prioritize work, predict failures, and improve uptime. The session will also cover long\u2011range planning questions\u2014such as replacement cycles, EV readiness, and right\u2011sizing the fleet\u2014and how AI can help model different scenarios. Participants will hear about common vendor claims around \u201cAI\u2011enabled\u201d systems, what questions to ask, and how to work with IT to validate data security and integration. The conversation will be practical and example\u2011driven, including prompts, with time for attendees to share their own fleet challenges and explore how AI might help.<\/p>\n
