Online roundtable

What if your school didn't have to run transport itself?

Registration, route planning, monitoring and compliance all land on teams that should be at the school gate. Join school leaders to talk through what can be handed over, what your school should keep, and how to decide.

Tuesday 1 December 2026

10:00 to 11:00 CET (13:00 Dubai)

Online, 60 minutes

What we'll discuss

Build, equip or partner?

There are three ways schools strengthen transport, and each one is valid. We'll look at what each asks of your school and which suits yours.

01

Build

Invest in your own team: training, staffing for the peaks and clear processes. It gives you full control, and asks for time, expertise and budget to recruit and train.

02

Equip

Give your team better tools: route planning, GPS tracking, boarding and attendance. It gives you visibility and data, and your team still runs the day-to-day operation.

03

Partner

Bring in a specialist to run planning and daily operations alongside your staff. It gives you expertise and peak cover without new hires, and asks for a partner you trust with your families.

Managed Transport Services

We run it, so your team does not have to.

Together School is the only provider offering Managed Transport Services to international schools. We do not operate buses: we are the management and intelligence layer, and your school keeps its operators and drivers, its fleet decisions, its parent relationships and its financial authority.

01

Registration

One online portal for every parent transport request. We manage the new-year surge.

02

Route planning

Full network plans each year, ongoing route optimisation and a verified, geocoded address for every bus user.

03

Live monitoring

Real-time tracking, exception alerts and first-line response when a bus needs support.

04

Compliance tracking

Driver certifications, bus documents, insurance and maintenance records in one place.

05

KPIs and benchmarking

Common metrics with school and group dashboards, and comparison across schools.

06

Helpdesk and chat

Ticketing for every transport request, query and issue, with live escalation.

07

Site visits

Regular visits to review performance, process and app use, and to train staff.

08

One playbook

Standard policies, processes and communications for registration, route assignment and incidents.

Who should join

Heads of School and principals

Business managers and bursars

Group operations leaders

Transport managers and coordinators

How it runs

A small working group, not a webinar.

Share challenges. Learn from peers. Take home solutions that work.
