What live bus tracking does for your school

While the bus is on a trip, parents see it moving on a map, with their child's stop marked and the expected arrival time. Parents are alerted when the bus starts, when it is near their stop, when their child boards or is dropped, and when the bus reaches school. The office sees every running bus on one map, with a history of each trip. The location comes from the bus crew's phone and is shared only while a trip runs.

  • The bus on a real-time map during each pickup and drop trip
  • Your child's stop marked, with the expected arrival time
  • Alerts when the bus starts, is near your stop and reaches school
  • Boarded and dropped alerts, from the attendant's boarding list
  • The driver's and attendant's contact for parents
  • Messages from the office to the parents of one bus, such as a late running bus
  • Every running bus on one map for the office, with a history of each trip
  • Location shared only while a trip is running, and only with that bus's families
  • A trip ends by itself when the bus arrives or is parked

How it works

Live bus tracking in three steps

  1. The crew starts the trip

    The driver or attendant starts the morning pickup or the afternoon drop from the staff app. The bus is shared only while that trip runs.

  2. Parents follow the bus

    Parents see the bus moving on a map with their child's stop marked and the expected arrival time at that stop.

  3. Everyone is told what matters

    Parents get alerts when the bus starts, is near their stop, reaches school, and when their child boards or is dropped. The office sees every running bus on one map.

What changes

What your school gets from it

  • Parents stop calling the office to ask where the bus is.
  • The office knows the moment a bus is running late.
  • Every trip leaves a record of when each stop was reached.
