In their own words
BusRight
BusRight is a student transportation platform for school transportation teams, drivers, and families, available on web, Android, and iOS. Its desktop tools support routing; the maker advertises routing in under 60 seconds and route changes or merges in under five minutes. The driver app offers turn-by-turn navigation, GPS updates every two seconds, and route reminders on a tablet. Drivers can use an offline mode in areas with poor connectivity. Parents and guardians can see live bus locations and estimated arrival times and receive real-time notifications. Safety Pass records student boarding and drop-off through scan-on and scan-off. Its badges contain no personal student information and can only be read within a few centimeters of a BusRight tablet. Telematics provides vehicle location, engine diagnostics, mileage, fuel level, and driving safety information for buses and other fleet vehicles. Installation uses one onboard device wired into each vehicle’s dashboard, with rollout planning during implementation. Pricing is discussed by demo for your fleet, and a school must sign up with BusRight before its iOS app can be used.
