Student Rider Visibility

Peace-of-Mind for Parents
Using the information gathered from the Edison Award-winning Z Pass solution, Z Pass+ instantly notifies parents where and when their your child gets on or off the school bus via the internet, mobile app or cell phone via text message. Knowing when and where their child gets on and off the bus offers assurance and enables parents to plan around their child’s ETA.

Reduce Calls to Schools
Parents who know if, when and where their child gets on or off the bus are less likely to call the school looking for their child. Now, parents have access to the same information the school use to answer questions about bus rides. Also, parents who discover their child isn’t on the bus as expected can take immediate action.

Simple to Use
Parents log in to the secure Z Pass+ website to access the bus ride information and set up instant messaging to a cell phone. They can also log in to the mobile app with their credentials to configure push notifications for instant alerts. Students already utilize Z Pass cards when they board or exit the bus, so there is no additional action from students or bus drivers.

Ratings and reviews

Last year it was maybe a minute delayed. This year I don't receive any notifications whatsoever. When I check the app it's delayed time. I've installed an reinstalled I've updated my phone. I've logged in an out to no avail. I've notice the app hasn't updated since 2015. I think it might be the client or a server issue. Probably buffering causing a delay not sure. PLEASE HELP!!

The notifications of check on/off doesn't comes right then. Sometimes it's a couple minutes and other times it's 30 minutes later. It would be nice to come through right when they swipe the card. This morning, I got her swipe on a couple of minutes after, and no swipe off, but this evening, I got her swipe on and off 30 minutes later together. It's not consistent or accurate. It's okay though.

Pointless, app constantly logs me out without me even realizing it and if you're logged out no scan updates come thru. When I am logged in there's always a 5-10 min delay (usually 8 mins) notifying me my child is on or off the bus. (Android user). 2 Stars because it started off good and I guess it does send notifications just not consistently or in a timely manner.
