ZPass+: Bus Ride Reporting for Parents

 

ZPass+ school bus child tracking

For Parents’ Peace-of-Mind

ZPass+ gives parents a whole new level of comfort and assurance. Using the information gathered from the Edison Award-winning ZPassTM solution, simple notifications of where and when your child gets on or off the school bus are sent to you directly through push notifications or cell phone text message. This new, simple solution gives you the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing your child is safe.


Reduce Calls to Schools

Knowing if, when and where your student gets on or off the bus means fewer calls to the school looking for your student. Parents now have access to the same information the school uses to answer questions about bus rides. The difference is, you know immediately and can act right away when you discover your child is not there.


Simple to Use

Parents log in to the secure ZPass+ website to access the bus ride information and set up cell phone push notifications or text messaging. Students already utilize ZPass cards when they board or exit the bus, so there is no additional action from students or bus drivers.

Simple, Safe and Secure

Your student is issued a unique RFID card to carry. As they pass the ZPass reader located on the bus, the time, date and location is logged and transmitted to a secure database.


Real-Time Answers

“ZPass+ is an excellent tool for parents. Calls to the transportation department are no longer necessary, because parents have that information on their cell phones. Student ridership tracking with ZPass+ provides parents with a level of security and confidence we didn’t know was possible.”
