About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

New Report from EverDriven Finds 98% of School Districts Are Modernizing Student Transportation to Improve Safety, Equity, and Access

By: via Business Wire

The Future of Modern Student Transportation and Safety Report reveals urgent investments in tech-enabled, student-first solutions

Across the country, 98% of school districts are actively modernizing student transportation, according to EverDriven’s newly released Future of Modern Student Transportation and Safety Report, a groundbreaking report that provides a comprehensive look at how school districts across the United States are modernizing their transportation systems to better serve students. With a sharp focus on safety, equity, and chronic absenteeism, districts are turning to technology and flexible models to ensure every student can get to school, especially those navigating the challenges of homelessness, living in foster care, or requiring specialized accommodations.

“When student transportation is frictionless, education becomes more equitable,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “Districts across the country are modernizing student transportation to be student-centered, meeting the diverse needs of learners with technology, flexibility, and safety at the forefront. Every child deserves not just a ride to school, but a reliable, dignified path to opportunity.”

Key Findings from the Report

  • 98% of districts are prioritizing transportation modernization.
  • 95% expect transportation budgets to increase in the next five years, by an average of 26%. Two-thirds of districts have already secured funding.
  • 49% have begun implementing modern solutions; 47% plan to within five years.
  • 68% say technology will play a significant or critical role in their strategy. Districts are prioritizing a variety of technology solutions aimed at addressing student safety.
  • 88% report equity gaps in transportation access across student groups.

What’s Driving the Shift

Districts are addressing long-standing transportation challenges that contribute to higher absenteeism among their most vulnerable students. Equity remains a pressing concern, with 88% of districts reporting access gaps, particularly in non-regulated states.

Meanwhile, rising operational pressures are accelerating the need for modernization. Administrators report top pain points such as high maintenance costs (25%), inefficient routes and schedules (24%), and challenges meeting regulatory compliance requirements (23%).

On-the-ground challenges include ensuring student safety (20%), coordinating schedules across diverse student groups (20%), adapting to shifting populations (19%), and improving communication with families (19%). Superintendents and transportation directors often differ in priorities, reinforcing the need for comprehensive, system-wide solutions.

The Modernization Response

In response, school districts are turning to a wide range of technology-enabled and flexible transportation strategies that are safer, more efficient, and built around students’ real-world needs. Many are already implementing:

  • Real-time GPS tracking systems (52%), AI-assisted routing software (48%), and driver monitoring systems (47%) to improve visibility and reduce inefficiencies.
  • Onboard camera systems (39%) and collision avoidance technology (37%) to enhance student safety.
  • Parent and student communication apps (44%) and emergency communication tools (37%) to improve family engagement and responsiveness.
  • Alternative Student Transportation models, already adopted by 37% of districts, are being used to serve students outside of standard bus routes and provide right-sized, technology-equipped vehicles.

Additionally, most districts plan to expand investments in collision avoidance systems (36%), safety training programs (35%), and AI-powered logistics (34%) over the next five years.

“We’re witnessing a transformation in student transportation,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “Districts are reimagining what it means to serve every student with dignity, reliability, and safety. From AI-powered routing to inclusive mobility options, this report shows how schools are turning innovation into impact.”

Since 2015, EverDriven has transported more than 111,000 students, including 47,000+ experiencing homelessness and 32,000+ with disabilities, with a 99.99% safety record. The company continues to partner with school districts across the country to build reliable, flexible, and inclusive transportation systems.
