The conference, entitled “Shaping Sustainable School Transportation: Policy, Attitude, Action” constitutes the first school transportation conference in the region and has attracted transportation professionals from all over the world. It is officially supported by The Government of Dubai’s RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) and NAPT (National Association for Pupil Transportation).

Transfinder will showcase its routing software solutions in Exhibit Booth A-13 for the safe, efficient, and cost-effective transportation of students. It is the only school bus routing software provider exhibiting from the United States. Featured in its exhibit will be a demonstration of the company’s mobile application for accessing and documenting transportation information on the iPad.

According to Antonio Civitella, president & CEO, “We expect our solutions to be well received in Dubai, and are anticipating great interest in our mobile app for the iPad, Infofinder mobile. We operate in a wireless world today and in major commercial centers of the world like Dubai and even in most developing countries, wireless access is ubiquitous.” He added, “We are proud to be associated with NAPT and the other companies from the United States in this venture, as the USA is considered the gold standard when it comes to the safe transport of students. Countries from all corners of the globe recognize this and want to learn best practices from us.”
