PRESS RELEASE: BusConduct Celebrates 10 Years of School Bus Safety
Transportation managers and school officials embrace the online incident-reporting program which helps curb poor student behavior.
Lakeland, Fla., June 8, 2010 – Ten years ago, the typical way for a school bus driver to report on a misbehaving student was to handwrite her comments on a piece of paper and hand it to the school—where too often it disappeared, and the unsafe behavior continued unchecked. Today, that bus driver can enter her report into a web-based application called BusConduct by Incwebs (www.busconduct.com), and be certain the student’s school principal gets the message instantly. Since the year 2000, BusConduct, formerly known as SchoolTIRES, has been used to help discipline over 78,000 students nationwide, resulting in increased bus safety and happier bus drivers.

ARTICLE: Web-based Software Helps Driver Retention, Says School Administrators

BUFFALO, N.Y.-Unruly students are often cited among the reasons school bus drivers leave the profession. To date, video cameras have been among the key strategies to bring student behavior into line. Now, a software program that relies on Internet technologies has been introduced signaling that bad behavior on the school bus may finally be a thing of the past.
A web-based disciplinary reporting program called TIRES (nka BusConduct), which stands for Transportation Incident Reporting System, has been credited with reducing driver turnover, according to administrators of Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota.
The student behavior management software system designed by IncWebs (fka Incompass) Inc. was introduced at NAPT in Buffalo, N.Y., during a workshop. BusConduct eliminates the use of multi-page incident report forms, doesn't take up hard drive space and may be run on any computer with a web browser and access to the Internet, says the software developer.

ARTICLE: A new web-based software program by a Florida company for reporting student misbehavior on school buses can help reduce disciplinary problems and increase driver retention, according to its developers.
This article appeared in the February 14, 2001 issue of the School Transportation Director newsletter, and is reprinted with their permission.
The software program, TIRES (nka BusConduct), an acronym for Transportation Incident Referral System, is a relatively new program, reports Jules Bohanon, applications development director for IncWebs (fka Incompass) Inc. in Lakeland, Florida (previously St. Paul, MN).
Request for Assistance
The program grew out of a request for assistance by a Minnesota school district, she explains. “Basically, a few years ago, a district in Minnesota contacted us. We’ve been working with school districts [for] about 15 years, helping them collect and report data more efficiently. They were having a problem with behavior reporting, especially turn-around time,” Bohanon says
