§ 01 · ON THE DEPARTURE BOARD

FRI · SEP 19 · 06:42

Know every team
has a bus.

RoadGame imports your sports schedule, requests buses from your existing vendors, tracks who has and hasn’t replied, flags trips that need attention, and texts coaches the right details before departure.

§ 03 · CAPABILITIES

What it does, in four lines.

§ 04 · WHY TRIPS BREAK

Most bus problems aren’t schedule problems. They’re follow-through problems.

The game is on the calendar. The failure usually happens in the handoff between your schedule, your vendor, and your coach.

Break 01 No reply

The vendor never really confirmed.

The request went out, but nobody answered. Or they replied on the wrong thread. Or they said yes without sending the driver, bus, or timing details you still need.

Break 02 Missed

The coach never got the final details.

Pickup changed. Departure shifted. The bus number came in late. Someone texted one person, emailed another, and assumed the message got through.

Break 03 Urgent

You don’t know what’s shaky until it’s urgent.

By the time a trip feels risky, it’s usually already a scramble to fix. You need a ranked list of what needs attention now, not another inbox to sort through.

§ 05 · A WEEK ON ROADGAME

From schedule import to departure, RoadGame handles the follow-up.

You keep your existing schedule and vendors. RoadGame does the chasing, organizes the responses, and keeps the right people informed.

  1. 01 Step 1

    Import your schedule.

    Upload a CSV from Arbiter, rSchoolToday, or Google Sheets. RoadGame turns the week into trips your department can review and send.

  2. 02 Step 2

    Send real bus requests to vendors.

    RoadGame emails and texts your existing vendors a secure one-tap link — no login or password. No new portal, no extra training for them.

  3. 03 Step 3

    Collect confirmations, declines, and counters.

    Vendors confirm the trip, decline it, or send back a counter-offer. Responses are tied to the trip — no piecing details together from threads and screenshots.

  4. 04 Step 4

    See the trips that need attention first.

    RoadGame ranks at-risk trips in the Threats feed so you know what to fix tonight, tomorrow morning, or before a team walks outside.

  5. 05 Step 5

    Text coaches the right details at the right time.

    When the trip is moving, coaches get what they need by text: bus number, driver name, and ETA.

  6. 06 After the trip

    Keep the record.

    Every trip keeps an audit trail of requests, replies, updates, and notifications. Over time, you build a vendor track record you can actually use at renewal.

§ 06 · REAL-TIME SAVINGS

Catch the savings while you can still act on them.

You shouldn’t have to wait for a post-season report to find out you overpaid. As trips get booked, RoadGame flags concrete ways to spend less — in time to actually change the booking.

Bus timing ⚑ Suggested move

Shift pickup earlier, skip the overtime.

A late return can push a driver past their paid window and trigger overtime. RoadGame catches it as you schedule and suggests a pickup time that keeps the whole trip inside standard hours.

As scheduled Pickup 3:30 PM · returns into overtime
RoadGame suggests Pickup 3:00 PM · returns within standard hours

✓ Avoids the overtime surcharge

Trip routing ⚑ Suggested move

Split the round trip when the wait is long.

When a bus would sit idle for hours between drop-off and pickup, you’re often billed for that gap. RoadGame spots it and suggests two one-way trips so you pay for travel, not waiting.

As scheduled Round trip · long idle wait billed
RoadGame suggests Two one-ways · no idle hours on the clock

✓ Pay for the miles, not the downtime

Flagged as you book — not discovered when the invoice arrives.

§ 07 · SPEND BY TEAM

Stop taking the blame for trips that aren’t yours.

When every bus runs through one transportation line, athletics gets charged for field trips, band, and club travel too. RoadGame attributes every trip to the team or purpose that booked it — so your budget shows what athletics actually spent.

EXAMPLE SEASON · SPEND BY TEAM

Bars show share of total transportation spend.

88% is athletics
  • Football 26%
  • Basketball 18%
  • Soccer 14%
  • Volleyball 11%
  • Cross country 8%
  • Other sports 11%
  • Field trips (non-athletic) NOT ATHLETICS 12%

Renewals, budgets, and staffing decisions backed by what really happened — not memory.

§ 08 · SEASON ANALYTICS

A record of how your season actually ran.

Vendor performance

Renew on evidence, not gut feel.

Each vendor builds a track record across the season, so you walk into renewal knowing who actually showed up.

  • See how fast each vendor responds to a request
  • Know how often they confirm on the first ask
  • Compare on-time arrivals against last-minute scrambles
  • Watch decline and counter-offer patterns, season over season
Cost & time

See where the money and hours leak.

RoadGame surfaces the overlap and busywork that quietly inflate your transportation spend.

  • Spot duplicate or overlapping trips before they’re booked
  • Compare vendor quotes and counter-offers side by side
  • Find trips worth combining onto a single bus
  • Stop losing staff hours to phone tag and email chasing

✓ No new data entry — it’s a byproduct of running trips through RoadGame.

§ 09 · IN THEIR WORDS

I don’t need another dashboard. I need to know which trips are covered, which ones need attention, and what my coach needs to know.
— What we keep hearing from athletic directors
