This specially designed smartphone application and website permits parents to track their child’s bus whereabouts instantaneously, view the child’s bus routes, and receive alerts concerning delays and alterations. It further allows bus drivers to use tablets to verify every student’s presence and ensure they board and disembark at the correct stops.
