The company behind a disastrous change to a Kentucky city's school bus routes that resulted in more than a week of canceled classes had similar problems in two cities in neighboring Ohio last year. AlphaRoute said in a Tuesday night written statement that it recognized the Kentucky school cancellations have been"terribly disruptive" and that it has had a team in Louisville helping to address them since Saturday.

A school bus safety monitor watches as younger students exit a bus on Jan. 24, 2022, in Louisville, Kentucky. Hanlon touted AlphaRoute as the only company capable of both rerouting buses and planning staggered school start times. Superintendent Marty Pollio championed the idea, saying the combination would allow for more efficient use of buses and let teenagers sleep longer so they could be more alert in school.

AlphaRoute's Hanlon is the former chief operating officer of Boston Public Schools and has emphasized the company's origins as a partnership between MIT researchers and the school district.
