Student Transportation Visibility

One Connected View of Your School Bus Operation

 

School transportation teams need to know more than where their buses are. They need visibility into routes, ridership, drivers, and daily transportation activity — all while keeping schools and families informed.

 

Crosswalk K12 brings together the technology districts need to manage and improve student transportation — including routing, GPS tracking, ridership, fleet management, and communication.

 

Powered by T-Mobile’s reliable cellular network, Crosswalk K12 helps keep transportation technology connected in the field, giving districts the visibility they need to make better decisions throughout the school day.

Real-Time Transportation Visibility — Know What’s Happening Across Your Fleet

Transportation leaders can't manage what they can't see. When buses, routes, drivers, and student activity are difficult to monitor in real time, small issues can quickly become operational problems.

Challenges Districts Face Every Day

  • Limited visibility into bus locations and route progress
  • Frequent parent calls about late or delayed buses
  • Difficulty identifying route inefficiencies
  • Manual student ridership tracking
  • Communication gaps between drivers, transportation teams, and schools
  • Limited insight into day-to-day fleet activity

Connected Communication — Keep Drivers & Transportation Teams Connected

Transportation visibility doesn't stop with knowing where a bus is. Drivers need a reliable way to communicate with dispatch, transportation leaders, and school personnel when a route changes or an incident occurs.

Challenges Districts Face Every Day

  • Radio coverage gaps
  • Difficulty communicating with drivers outside traditional radio range
  • Delayed communication during incidents
  • Drivers operating without a direct line to dispatch
  • Communication challenges after hours or away from the transportation office

After-Hours & Off-Campus Communication

Transportation leaders and school officials can stay connected when they're away from the transportation office and need to coordinate a response.

Connected Cameras — See More When It Matters

Knowing where a bus is is only part of transportation visibility. Districts also need to know what's happening on board. Connected camera technology can give transportation teams faster access to video, helping them understand incidents while buses are still in the field.

Challenges Districts Face Every Day

  • Waiting for buses to return before reviewing footage
  • Limited visibility during active incidents
  • Difficulty investigating student or driver concerns
  • Aging camera infrastructure
  • High costs associated with replacing functioning cameras

CASE STUDY

Denver Public Schools Improve Attendance

McKinney-Vento (MV) students often lack secure housing and other essential resources including food, healthcare,internet access and communication. As a result, absenteeism is often high and academic performance is often low.

See how the Premier  CPR³ program has positively impacted over 1,100 MV students in Denver Public Schools.
