Reduce Parent Call Volume
After implementing the Here Comes The Bus® app, Gilbert Public Schools reduced morning parent call volume by 25% by giving families real-time visibility into bus location, ETAs, and ride cancellations.
Strengthen Safety and Security
By combining vehicle tracking, onboard cameras, and ridership data, Gilbert Public Schools improved safety, accountability, and peace of mind across every route.
Know Where Every Student Is
Student ridership badge scans track when and where students board and exit the bus, giving parents and schools confidence that every child is accounted for while in district care.
