Safer, smarter and more cost‑effective
Local authorities are under unprecedented pressure: rising SEND demand, escalating transport costs, staff shortages and outdated systems that can’t keep pace. CACI brings together pupil intelligence, eligibility data, route optimisation and real‑time journey management into one seamless home to school transport platform. We help local authorities deliver safer services, reduce spend and improve outcomes for families.
