Prevent breakdowns and maximize uptime.
Prevent breakdowns and maximize uptime.
Keep buses on the road more—and in the shop less. Remotely monitor vehicle health and diagnostics online, on a single platform. Identify minor problems and issues early. Know when there’s an impending breakdown before the driver does to keep that bus, and its student riders, off the side of the road.
Clearly communicate with parents and guardians.
Clearly communicate with parents and guardians.
Serving today’s communities requires modern tools such as Zonar MyView™. Districts use the back-end to clearly communicate directly with parents and guardians. In turn, they use the MyView mobile app to track their child’s school bus, and make sure they got on and off at the right locations.
More peace of mind for them. Fewer parent phone calls for you.
Make every bus, route and drop of fuel count.
Know your fleet operation in detail to uncover new ways of making the most of every resource you have. Track routes and buses to optimize each one. Identify and address idling to prevent fuel waste. And digitally track eligible ridership to maximize Medicaid reimbursement.

- Equip each driver with a tablet to use for every essential task to limit their contact and protect their health.
