STL Transportation keeps families informed about their student's ride to and from school. Built by a locally owned St. Louis transportation company with 35 years of combined experience in student transportation, this app gives parents and guardians a clear, real-time view of the ride their child is on. SEE THE VEHICLE ON A LIVE MAP Watch your child's van as it makes its way to the stop. The app tells you plainly how recent the position is — Live, Recent, or Stale — so you always know how much to trust what you're looking at. GET NOTIFIED AT PICKUP AND DROP-OFF A push notification the moment your child is picked up and again when they're dropped off. KNOW WHO IS DRIVING Your student's assigned driver and vehicle, with the plate number, right on the home screen. SEE THE DAY'S TIMELINE Scheduled times, what has already happened, and what's next — including how many minutes away the van is while it is on its way. MESSAGE DISPATCH DIRECTLY Running late, changing an address for a day, or need to ask a question? Message our dispatch office from inside the app. BUILT FOR PRIVACY You see your students and nothing else. Access is granted by our dispatch office, and our servers enforce it — one family can never see another family's child. The app does not request your location, contains no advertising, and no third-party tracking. Notifications are written so a student's full name and address never appear on a locked phone. WHO THIS APP IS FOR This app is for parents and guardians of students transported by STL Transportation. Your account is linked to your student by our dispatch office. If your district works with us and you don't have a link code yet, contact your school's transportation office or email info@stltaxicabs.com. STL Transportation specializes in McKinney-Vento student transportation for school districts across St. Louis City and County. Driving Our Community Forward.
