BusMinder creates a safer, more secure way for students to travel to and from school using the latest in GPS and smartcard technology. BusMinder provides real-time information on the location of students at all times for daily travel and excursions. BusMinder also assists in new driver training.
BusMinder is an innovative app that provides schools with proof of travel for every student trip. Schools can see in real time who is on the school bus and the location of the bus, as well as making student excursions and boarding of buses a simple task. Parents can check to see if their child is on a bus, and even track the journey of the bus, and set alerts for when the bus will arrive for ease of pick up. When a student boards or alights a bus, they will tap their BusMinder card on to an electronic reader. This reader will then disseminate the information to the parent's phone – indicating the child's current location.
BusMinder also supports driver training. Drivers can feel confident with in-app visual and voice prompts to assist them in a safe and uneventful journey. Parents and staff can be alerted in minutes to unexpected issues that may arise on the buses journey, thus providing peace of mind and confidence in their school buses.
The system is easy to implement and user friendly; it is secure, inexpensive, allows 24/7 access and will greatly benefit schools and parents alike.
