Gwinnett County Public Schools is the second largest transporter of students in the nation and is facing considerable budget costs. By developing assignment and scheduling heuristics implemented by a user friendly application and informed by a regression and forecast, the total number of busses needed for daily transportation was reduced significantly. The overall reduction of over 100 buses resulted in an initial savings of $2.9 million each year.
