Attendance is the budget

Funding follows attendance

California funds schools on average daily attendance, not enrollment. Every student who makes the bus is a student in a seat, and attendance drives the district's LCFF funding.

1

Every ride counts

Every student who rides is a day in the seat that counts toward ADA.

2

Know every rider

Ridership by stop and student, so you see who rides every day.

3

Get every student there

Routes that get every student there on time.

Special education transportation

Every IEP ride is a promise kept

In California, transportation written into an IEP is a related service your team delivers every day. Most special education funding also follows total attendance through the AB 602 formula, so every student on the bus supports the special ed budget too.

1

A record of every ride

Scan on, scan off, student photos on the driver tablet and exportable ridership reports give you a clear record of each IEP ride.

2

Drivers know every student

Each student's specialized needs are documented in the platform and visible to drivers, including subs, before the student boards.

Answers for families

Route history covers every run if a service question comes up, and the parent app answers where the bus is without a call.

“BusRight has been a game-changer for safety and communication. With substitute drivers, it’s tough when they don’t know a route, now they have clear directions, and we can track and monitor buses in real time.”

Barb Schwamman
Superintendent and Director of District and School Support - Osage Community School

“BusRight has raised the bar with driver tablets, parent communications, and easy route design, and they're always willing to listen and deliver on our needs. I'm proud to partner with BusRight.”

Marc Medina
President of NYAPT, Region 1 Director of NAPT, Supervisor of Transportation Farmingdale Union Free School District

“A parent called, worried her child hadn't gotten off the bus. Thanks to Safety Pass, I could immediately confirm the student had never scanned on and quickly found him safe at an after-school program. Without it, we'd have been making radio calls across 50+ buses.”

Devin O'Bryan
Transportation Director - Nelson County School District

“BusRight simplifies the whole process of moving students safely. Drivers get clear, turn-by-turn directions, and parents can see their child’s bus location in real time. When we’re short on drivers, we can even merge routes on the spot, it’s that easy”

Brandon Caldwell
Transportation Director - Madison School District

"BusRight has saved us $989,000 in the first year. I can't think of another tool in the district that has had such a profound impact on student safety, while also strengthening the financial position of the school."

Gregory Mott
Superintendent - Poughkeepsie City School District
