School Transportation App Puts Schedules and Notifications in Parents’ Pockets

With Tyler’s My Ride K-12 mobile app, parents and students can access their own secure data for bus stop location, route, and pickup time at the touch of a button. Convenient access to this information and rapid communication via push notifications help reduce parent calls to the transportation department for everyday updates, whether operations are managed by the school district or a K-12 transportation provider. When integrated with Tyler Drive, the school bus tracking app can share real-time ETAs, reducing time spent waiting at the stop and helping students never miss the bus again.

  • Intuitive access to on-demand vehicle and route information via the school bus tracking app reduces parent phone calls to the transportation department

  • Customizable push notifications keep families informed of everyday updates and simplify parent communication after incidents

  • Security settings limit access to the My Ride K-12 app to students, parents, and guardians to protect student data

  • Integration between Student Transportation software, GPS, and the school bus route app provides accurate, real-time information

  • Mobile-friendly parent app provides secure, confidential login and an intuitive interface for Android, iOS, or web users
