New Bus Compass Enhancements

Student & Guardian Experience Updates

We are excited to share several updates to the Bus Compass parent app designed to provide families with more visibility and an improved overall experience.

Enhanced Route & Stop Visibility

Guardians can now access a comprehensive view of their student’s daily transportation schedule directly from their mobile device.

  • Assigned Route Details: The app now lists the specific route name and bus number assigned to each student.

  • Seat Assignments: To assist with boarding and safety, student seat assignments are now displayed directly within the app.

  • Scheduled Stop Times: Real-time visibility into stop locations and scheduled times helps families plan mornings and afternoons with confidence

Multi-Student Management

For families with multiple students, managing the daily commute is now much simpler:

  • Student Toggle: View the bus status for everyone on the same screen.

  • Visibility Control: Use the simple toggle switch to hide or show specific students as needed to declutter your map view.

Improved Communication & Support

We've made it easier to stay informed and get help when you need it:

  • Push Notification Retention: Custom notifications sent from the Transportant Dashboard are now saved within the app. This allows parents to refer back to important district updates at any time.

  • Centralized Settings: Access user information, device notification settings, and support contacts all in one place.

Getting Started with the Updates

These features are rolling out automatically. To ensure you have the latest experience, please visit the App Store or Google Play Store to check for any pending updates for the Bus Compass app.

Questions or Feedback? We are committed to making school transportation safer and more transparent for every family. If you have questions about these new features or need assistance with your account, please reach out to support@transportant.com
