Importing Ridership Exceptions from Transfinder Plus

Importing Ridership Exceptions from Transfinder Plus

The ridership_tsf_plus_am_exception.csv and ridership_tsf_plus_pm_exception.csv files are used to apply daily routing exceptions for students when their pickup or drop-off stop differs from what is defined in the standard ridership.csv file.

These files allow districts using Transfinder Plus to temporarily modify transportation assignments (for example, when a student rides a different bus or goes to a different stop for the day) without changing the student’s primary ridership record.

ridership_tsf_plus_am_exception.csv

This file changes the pickup stop entries defined in ridership.csv so that they match the pickup exceptions for the current day.

Fields

Local ID


The student ID as assigned by the school.


To School Trip 1 Pick Up Stop

Name of the stop where the student will be picked up.


To School Trip 1 Trip

Name of the Transfinder trip for the exception.
