Stop guessing when the bus will come.

The SimplySafeChild parent app shows where the bus is, when it will reach your stop, and confirms when your child gets on and off. Your child doesn’t need a phone.

Bus nearby

A heads-up when it matters.

Choose when you want to be told: ten minutes out, five minutes out, or one stop away. On a cold, rainy morning, that’s the difference between waiting two minutes at the corner and waiting twenty.

Live arrival time

An arrival time you can trust.

It works like tracking a food delivery. The estimate updates as the bus moves through traffic, so you always know when to head out the door.

On and off

Proof they got on, and got off.

The tag on your child’s backpack confirms when they board and when they get off, with the stop and the time. If they get on a different bus, you’ll know that too.

Emergency updates

Bad news, fast and clear.

If a bus breaks down, is in an accident, or is stuck in bad weather, every family on that route is told right away, including whether a replacement bus is coming and the new arrival time.

The whole family

Every child, every caregiver.

See all your children in one place, even on different buses or at different schools. Invite grandparents, a sitter, or a co-parent, and choose which alerts each person gets.

When a bus breaks down.

Today, most parents hear about a breakdown from a phone call, a social media post, or their child, often long after it happened.

  1. Bus 22 reports a flat

    The driver taps “Breakdown” on the tablet. Dispatch sees it instantly.

  2. Every Route 22 family is notified

    “Bus 22 is stopped with a flat tire. All students are safe on board.”

  3. Replacement on the way

    Parents get a new arrival time for their stop that keeps updating.

  4. Kids are home

    Each family gets the usual “got off the bus” confirmation.
