On this episode of The Tyler Tech Podcast, we sit down with Ted Thien, vice president and general manager of transportation software at Tyler Technologies, to explore the evolving landscape of K-12 student transportation.

Ted explores the complex challenges faced by school districts as they navigate modern expectations from parents, who increasingly demand an Uber-like experience for their children’s school commutes. From optimizing routes to implementing advanced AI solutions, Ted provides knowledge on how school districts can leverage cutting-edge technology to enhance safety, efficiency, and transparency. He also shares real-world examples of how Tyler’s innovative products are helping districts meet these challenges, including the My Ride K-12 app and Tyler Drive.

We also detail our latest white paper about the five main risks of legacy systems. You can download that here: Is Your Legacy Digital Infrastructure Putting You at Risk?
