Empower parents and guardians to track their child’s school bus, from pick-up to drop-off. Securely, simply and in real time. Bus Suite Parent is a comprehensive bus tracking system that enables them to track their child’s school bus route in real time. More transparency and peace of mind for everyone. 1. Live bus tracking: Parents track the bus in real time on an aerial map view. To protect student privacy, they will no longer see the bus’s location once the route ends. 2. Multiple children: Parents can manage multiple children using the same app, regardless of their school or route. 3. Notifications: Parents configure their real-time notifications as their children board or exit the bus. 4. ETA: Parents are notified with an ETA for their stop is coming up so they can save time and avoid unnecessary waiting time. 5. Route info: Parents have complete route information with all stops, ETAs, and so on. If they miss their stop, they know when and where the next stop will be. 6. Guardians: Enroll guardians and other family members so each can track their children if they need. Note: Bus Suite Parent works with the Bus Suite Driver app, which resides on the bus. If your district uses Zonar Z Pass®, additional notification data may be provided such as the student boarding & exiting the bus. Students’ boarding and exiting is managed through Z Pass, which is completely touchless. Manual check-ins and check-outs are allowed on the driver app only in case the child is not carrying their student card.
