The ZenBUS mobile app is a simple and effective way to deliver school bus data while increasing student safety.

Solution

How does this solution work?

The ZenBUS application works by communicating with telematic hardware installed on the school bus. The hardware will transmit real-time data of the bus’ activity/location along with various other information. This information will be gathered and relayed into the application for parents to easily digest.

Common questions and concerns that can be answered by ZenBUS

• “I want to be better plan my mornings without the fear of missing the bus”

• “I want to know when the bus is running late or canceled”

• “Is my child on the bus?”

• “Did my child get off the bus? If so, where?”

• “Has the bus safely arrived at the school?”

Access

Registration

For safety and security reasons, parents must be registered to ZenBUS via school administration. This means that the school must create a profile for the parents and have them assigned to their respective students.

For more information or requests to register for parental access please contact your students’ school administration.
