GPS

We make the safety and security of students our highest priority, equipping our fleet with bus tracking capability via the sophisticated Zonar GPS System (link opens in new browser window) to provide real-time child tracking and the ability to pinpoint the location of every vehicle.

GPS Safety, Security & Efficiency

Our advanced GPS system captures data while buses are on route and automatically monitors and alerts our transportation management team of:

• School bus locations can identify where buses are in real time.
• School bus speed – ensuring safe travel speeds are maintained.
• School bus idling – ensuring fuel efficiency is achieved by minimizing idling.
• Detailed trip information is merged with route planning software – ensuring the most efficient route plans are developed.
• Ground Traffic Control integration with Google Routing – ensuring powerful system routing capabilities providing bus drivers turn-by-turn directions.

First Student's focus on safety, combined with innovative GPS technology, spells peace of mind. You can count on First Student to safely transport your students each and every day.
