    Common Questions

    Fleet Capacity Checker FAQ

    What does the Fleet Capacity Checker calculate?
    It calculates physical seats, available seats after unavailable vehicles, usable seats at the target occupancy level, total demand, and the remaining capacity margin.
    Why use a target occupancy below 100 percent?
    A lower target can preserve operational flexibility for route changes, late registrations, accessibility needs, escorts, and temporary vehicle issues.
    How are unavailable vehicles handled?
    Unavailable vehicles are subtracted from each fleet type before available seats and usable target capacity are calculated.
    What does Action Required mean?
    Action Required means physical capacity may cover demand, but the selected occupancy target, reserved seats, or unavailable fleet creates an operational risk.
    Can this replace a student transport management system?
    No. It supports preliminary fleet checks. Approved vehicle assignments, routes, riders, and schedules should be recorded in the official system.
    Can I export the capacity result?
    Yes. Download the capacity review as CSV or open a printable report that can be saved as PDF.
