Bus Rider Tracking System
During the 2018 Bond Election, voters supported the purchase of bus monitoring technology to track bus ridership to address safety and security on buses. Learn more about the approved bond measure.
Scanning on and off the bus has several advantages, including:
-
Accurate tracking of the number of students on the bus.
-
Accurate tracking of where the students scanned on and off the bus.
-
Ability to promptly provide information to parent inquiries.
-
Bus drivers will have greater accuracy in ensuring students load/unload at their proper bus/stops.
Starting in 2022-23, Frisco ISD began piloting standardized student ID badges at select campuses. Students at these pilot campuses scan their ID cards to get on and off the bus, adding a layer of safety and security.
