Smart Tag

Smarter and safer bus transportation.

The SMART Tag system records when students load and unload the bus, providing real-time information to the District transportation department, and you, the parent.

In just three easy steps, the SMART Tag electronic bus transportation system ensures that students get on the right bus and get off at the right stop.

  • Scan to get on.

  • Ride.

  • Scan to get off.

  1. Students eligible for transportation service are issued a SMART tag equipped with an RFID chip. The chip does not transmit a signal, students swipe the card over the RFID reader when they enter and exit the bus.

  2. Your student’s Smart tag is required each time your child enters and exits the bus. (Only the student’s name and barcode associated with the student ID number will be printed on the SMART tag.)

  3. Students place their SMART tag on the tablet’s sensor when loading and unloading their bus.

Introducing the Smart tag™ Parent App!

Our mobile app lets you keep track of your student’s bus-riding activity and receive SMART Alerts on the go. 

Available for Android and iOS.

App registration begins with the Primary Parent – the parent associated with the student in the school district’s system. The primary parent must complete their app registration and confirm their student before any co-parent can register for them.

Co-parents who wish to register for a student must submit a request to the primary parent within the app. In cases where there’s no response from the primary parent, the school district can review and approve.
