Bus Riders will use a SMART Tag!

In just three easy steps, you and your child can have peace of mind knowing that they are safe and sound on their way to and from school. The SMART Tag electronic bus transportation system ensures that students get on the right bus and get off at the right stop.

SMARTER AND SAFER BUS TRANSPORTATION

  • Students are issued new school ID cards with an electronic chip SMART sensor
  • School busses are equipped with a SMART Tag reader that riders swipe when loading and unloading
  • The tablet will display whether the rider is boarding the correct bus or getting off at the right stop
  • Parents and guardians can sign up for SMART Alerts via text to notify them that their child boarded the bus or exited at the correct stop
  • Access to the Parent Portal allows you to view a real time map with GPS tracking
