In their own words

BusWhere

BusWhere provides real-time bus tracking and arrival information for schools, districts, bus companies, and shuttle operators. Its parent app displays bus locations and ETAs and can notify families as a bus approaches. Route tools support drag-and-drop planning, imports, off-route stops, optimization, and route replay. Fleet tools cover fuel levels, odometer readings, engine alerts, and driver safety reports. For shuttles, operators can offer branded rider apps and configure off-road stops, circular routes, and service with multiple buses. BusWhere lists integrations with Geotab, Samsara, Zonar, and other trackers, along with overnight syncing with routing and student information systems. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Schools can start a no-commitment trial on one bus and add vehicles later. The school or district pays for service, with possible discounts for larger fleets; pricing is available by contacting BusWhere. The company says it uses student data only to provide the service and maintains safeguards while complying with applicable education privacy laws, including FERPA and COPPA.
