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 potential issues.  Other benefits include:

• School bus location can be identified and tracked in real time.
• School bus speed can be verified to ensure safe travel speeds are maintained.
• School bus idling can be tracked to maximize fuel efficiency.
• Detailed trip information can be merged with route planning software to ensure the most efficient route plans are developed.
• Ground Traffic Control integration with Google Routing can be utilized to provide bus drivers with 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.
