District Implementing New Bus Tracking App
District Implementing New Bus Tracking App
This spring we’re making a major update to our outdated bus routing software, which means a more reliable bus tracking app for you and a faster, more efficient way to route students on buses for staff.
The My Ride K-12 app will replace the existing My Stop app. My Ride K-12 still allows users to track the school bus before heading to the bus stop in the morning or when coming home at the end of the day. It also notifies families if buses are running late.
The district is expecting the new My Ride K-12 app will be fully functional at some point during the week of April 15.
Please note: As we transition to the new app, the old TransVersa MyStop app will not be able to track buses in live time.
The new app will be the primary method of communication regarding transportation. Details on how to install and log in to the My Ride K-12 app will be emailed directly to families by the district Transportation Department.
