Dublin, Jan. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "School Bus DRT Market, North America, 2023-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The study sizes and forecasts school bus vehicles in operation and the penetration of school bus DRT from 2023 to 2030 in North America. The study will benefit policymakers, DRT and telematics solution providers, technology solution providers, and a host of industry participants, equipping you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions and drive innovation in this transformative transportation sector.
North America's school bus demand-responsive transport (DRT) market is experiencing transformative growth as schools seek more flexible, efficient, and tech-savvy transportation solutions. As traditional school bus systems face operational challenges, such as limited data collection, driver shortages, and rising safety expectations, DRT solutions present an adaptable alternative. This study provides a comprehensive examination of DRT's role in modernizing school transportation across the United States and Canada, focusing on infrastructure readiness, technology, policy support, and regional variations in adoption trends.
In the United States, a combination of policy support for electrification, established technology infrastructure, and a broad acceptance by schools, parents, and operators has accelerated DRT uptake, with numerous start-ups entering the sector. Canada, in contrast, faces lower adoption rates due to a limited start-up ecosystem. However, Canada's market may present substantial growth opportunities as policy incentives expand and the need for cost-effective, flexible transport solutions grows.
Key trends driving growth in the school bus DRT industry include the transition toward electrification, which is incentivized by government grants and environmental policies pushing for reduced emissions. Additionally, advances in AI-driven routing and real-time tracking technology enhance operational efficiency and safety, making DRT solutions more appealing. The demand for flexible, scalable transport options also aligns with the growing need for hybrid schooling models and adaptable routes, particularly in urban areas. Together, these trends set the stage for a more dynamic, data-driven future in school transportation across North America.
The report also identifies unique stakeholder concerns, including budget constraints of school boards, parental concerns about data privacy and technology adoption, and union resistance to changes in job roles. A mapping of key challenges highlights issues such as driver shortages, inefficient route utilization, passenger dissatisfaction, and the need for advanced data collection.
