School Bus Tracking Without GPS Hardware

No GPS devices to install, maintain or replace — Transpooler uses Android phones or tablets to track school buses in real time

Drivers and matrons use the Transpooler mobile app to manage trips, students, stops and boarding

Automatically record student boarding and drop-off, and send parents real-time trip and attendance notifications

Manage outsourced transportation fleets even when the school does not own or control the buses or their GPS devices

Already have GPS devices? Transpooler can integrate with existing fleet GPS systems for unified bus tracking

Set Up Routes & Staff

Create your bus routes, add the students assigned to each route, then create driver/matron accounts and assign them to their routes. Each staff member gets the information relevant to their daily assignment through the Transpooler app.

Easy Staff Substitution

When a driver or matron changes, simply assign the new staff member to the route. The app provides the new driver with the stops and navigation information, while the matron has the students, timings and contact information needed for the trip.

Real-Time Bus Tracking

Monitor school buses live from the school dashboard and share each bus location with authorized parents. Access trip history and route information for service monitoring and auditing.

Safety & GPS Integration

Receive alerts for speeding and route deviations, with violations recorded for driver evaluation. Boarding and drop-off records provide attendance history. Existing fleet GPS systems can also be integrated.
