Reaching out to PTAs for Implementing BUSLOC in Their School Districts
PTAs, the Parent Teacher Associations, are vital for the smooth operations of schools. One of the tasks PTAs undertake is to decide, in cooperation with the school administrators, on programs beneficial to the students. School bus transportation is one program that can involve the PTAs. BUSLOC is a FREE school bus tracking platform to help students save time and effort in getting on board the transportation to and from school. BUSLOC Parents app allows students and parents track the school bus in real-time on a map and receive location-based text notifications. Because BUSLOC is FREE, it is not tied to the school’s finance budget cycle. BUSLOC can easily integrate with the fleet’s existing GPS hardware and scheduling or routing software.
Below is a list of benefits with BUSLOC.
For Parents and Students:
No waiting on the curbside in rain, snow, or inclement weather
No guessing about the school bus location
No need to panic in a busy schedule
Avoid missing the school bus
Stay up-to-date on the school bus delays or cancellations
Set as many location-based notifications
Notifications can be time-based
Receive auto notifications when the bus reaches school and when the bus leaves school
For School Districts:
Free integration with the fleet’s existing GPS hardware
Data management tool — Dashboard for all the data management needs including schools list, routes list, route stops, and assigning Parents/Students to routes
All-time connectivity with parents as a group on each and every route
Messaging dashboard to send one notification to parents on all routes or to parents on specific route or routes
Switch/cancel routes from the Dashboard
PTAs can take up the initiative with the Transportation Department at their School District or Schools to implement the BUSLOC platform for the school bus tracking needs. Transportation staff can register at BUSLOC https://www.busloc.io and get a demo account, which allows a quick look at the BUSLOC platform as well as view a user controlled demo.
Once the Transportation Staff gets in touch with BUSLOC, working out the technical details and implementing a pilot with BUSLOC should not be time consuming for the School District.
