About TransAct (Rationale)
TransAct is a Software as a Service company that serves Schools Districts. One of our products is a software for routing school buses, this product pulls from OSM for our routing engine. All of the people editing OSM have a connection to this Routing product, and understand maps.
We update areas of the map that affect our customers: i.e. adding in new developments & updating ways around schools to Service Roads from driveways.
