You assume it’s covered. It isn’t.
"I emailed the bus company Tuesday for a Friday game. They confirmed the wrong one. I found out at 3:40 — the team was already in uniform on the curb."

For K-12 athletic departments
Every team gets a
confirmed bus.
Without the chasing.
RoadGame handles athletic transportation from schedule to departure. Import your sports schedule, and it requests buses from your vendors, collects the confirmations, texts your coaches the bus and driver details, and flags any trip that's at risk — before a team is left waiting on the curb.

The week, as it really runs
- Moves Games get moved and added after the calendar is 'final.'
- Manual Email a vendor, wait, call to confirm, call again — every trip.
- 3+ Vendors per district, none of them in the same place.
- 0 Proof the coach actually got the pickup change.
The problem
When a team gets left behind, it’s almost never the schedule.
It's everything around the schedule — the back-and-forth with vendors, the message that didn't reach the coach, the trip nobody flagged in time. Three ways it goes wrong.
The change went out. It didn’t land.
"We moved the pickup spot that morning. The note went to two email threads and a text. The freshman coach saw none of them."

By Wednesday you can feel Friday’s a mess.
"I just can't point at what's wrong. I want a list — these three trips, in this order, fix them now."

How it works
From schedule to departure — handled for you.
You upload your schedule once. RoadGame works the email and texts, collects the confirmations, and keeps the right people informed all the way to pickup.
- Monday
Upload your schedule.
Export a CSV from your scheduler — Arbiter, rSchoolToday, or a Google Sheet — and drop it in. RoadGame reads the week, estimates how many seats each trip needs, and lines up every trip as a draft.
- A few days out
Vendors get the request (no login).
RoadGame emails and texts each vendor a request with a secure link — no account or password. They confirm, decline, or counter-offer in seconds, right from their phone.
- The day before
At-risk trips rise to the top.
Anything still uncertain — no vendor reply, no driver, not enough seats — shows up in a ranked Threats list. You see the two or three trips to fix tonight, not all forty.
- Game day
Coaches get the details.
Each coach gets a text with what they need: pickup time, bus number, and the driver’s name and number. STOP and HELP are handled automatically, and every message is logged.
- After the game
Everything’s on record.
Every trip keeps a full history — every request, confirmation, and change, time-stamped. Each vendor builds a track record, so you renew based on who actually showed up.
The schedule is the easy part. Making sure every team actually gets to every game is the part nobody owns — that’s the part we handle.
