Increase safety and security

Security and safety are further improved with alerts when buses aren’t operated safely or when they need maintenance.

Welcome them back on board, safely

Some school buses are already transporting students again. Others are still providing essential services and planning for the future while their school continues virtual learning. Whether your buses are running routes again or not, use the right smart fleet technology to keep everyone on board safe and healthy.

• Protect drivers and students with touchless technologies.
• Support contact tracing efforts on the school bus.
• Verify right student, right stop—every time.
• Collaborate with in-house, professional services for custom projects.
• Keep parents in the know about their child’s bus location.
• Digitally verify proper sanitization procedures.

Design your new normal with smart fleet management technology that protects everyone’s health and safety. Drivers, students and parents will get back to school life with greater peace of mind.

Ensure sanitization procedures are followed

Regardless of distancing measures put in place for school buses, many students may not realize the importance of following hygiene practices. Standardize thorough cleaning protocols and verify that they’re being followed. Our patented Electronic Verified Inspection Reporting (EVIR®) system features a configuration that streamlines the process of following complex, detailed sanitization procedures.

• Comply with the FTA’s safety advisory to execute all routine cleaning and surface disinfection.
• Document which areas are sanitized, at what time, and by who.
• Monitor cleaning routines to standardize methods and maximize efficiency.
• Document the type of disinfectant used.

Screen drivers for symptoms before every shift

Have drivers complete a quick health questionnaire using our new Employee Symptom Checker on Zonar Forms™.

• Understand each driver's health and well-being.
• Know each driver’s current temperature.
• Reduce risk of exposure for everyone they come into contact with.

Drivers use their own tablet to complete the digital form. Each questionnaire is timestamped and uploaded to Zonar Ground Traffic Control^® for secure, online recordkeeping. Authorized personnel then access the records online. No shared contact points.

Save fuel and reduce costs

Zonar enables you to chart calculable improvements, showing where you increased efficiency and reduced costs. Dispatch and administration can review data through real-time reports and dashboards, or receive a text or email notification if drivers are idling, speeding, or in the wrong place, so dangerous and wasteful behavior are stopped immediately.

Bus fleet tracking is rapidly becoming essential, and our low monthly rates and no up-front investment package bundles make it more accessible than ever. Schools save money with verified electronic inspections, automated Medicaid reporting, and parent-facing applications that reduce calls to schools — all with partnering with a quality expert that has earned a 99% customer-retention rate.
