Education Logistics, Inc. (EDULOG) is the computer assisted routing system used by the Pupil Transportation Department to establish bus stops, bus trips and bus routes. The EDULOG system utilizes the district's student database and an electronic map to identify the location of students eligible for transportation. The EDULOG electronic map identifies the street network of Broward County. EDULOG calculates the distance a student travels to school and the path a bus will travel on route to that school. The system also allows the transportation personnel the ability to graphically see the location of students in relationship to established bus stops. 

The Pupil Transportation Department, school personnel and parents / guardians continue to work together to provide special needs students with an enriched educational environment.
