Bus Compass partners with school districts to provide parents and students with the information they need to dramatically improve their school bus experience. Students no longer need to stand outside and endure excessive wait times for their bus. Parents will know when the bus is arriving, when/where their children get on/off the bus. View the actual location of the bus and spend less time at the bus stop - increasing safety and security, and limiting unhealthy exposure to inclement weather. Parents have the added benefit selecting a host of additional notifications to keep busy parents informed. With Bus Compass, you will always be in the know!
