Prevent wrong student, stop or bus mistakes.
Integrate Zonar Z Pass® digital ridership tracking into your Bus Suite ecosystem for added student safety. Schools gain real-time visibility into each bus’s ridership because students scan their card each time they board and exit. Plus, drivers digitally verify that students board the right bus and get off at the right stop.
Without Z Pass, drivers still have a manifest of assigned students. But Z Pass enables digital ridership tracking and on-the-spot verification.

Provide parents and guardians secure visibility into where their child’s school bus is located. Bus Suite includes a mobile app that enables them to track their child’s bus, as well as see when their child gets on and off at which stop. Through the app, dispatchers also notify parents when there’s a change.
Staying in the loop helps them plan more easily and feel secure that their child is safe. All of which adds up to better service and fewer calls.
