My Ride K-12 Parent User Guide

What is the My Ride K-12 Application?

The My Ride K-12 App is a mobile application designed to help parents and students stay informed about school transportation schedules. It's developed by Tyler Technologies, a company specializing in student transportation solutions.

Key Features of the My Ride K-12 App:

• View Bus Routes & Stops: See your child's assigned bus route, stops, and pick-up/drop-off times.
• Real-Time Bus Tracking (optional): Some districts offer real-time GPS tracking, allowing you to see where the bus is and its estimated arrival time.
• Notifications: Receive alerts about schedule changes, delays, or cancellations.
• Multiple Student Support: If you have multiple children in different schools, you can link their information in one app for easy access.

Benefits:

• Reduce the stress of worrying about missing the bus.
