RVS Message - Real-time tracking with the new bus app
RVS is excited to be transitioning to a new tool, WheresTheBus, to provide parents/guardians and schools with timely arrival and location information for our fleet of contracted buses. WheresTheBus is free, secure, and easy to use. This tool uses GPS and tablets installed on school buses to track and report the real-time location of the bus and estimated arrival times, allowing you to check where the bus is and see when the bus arrives at your child’s stop and at school. It is free and you may opt out of the program at any time. Please note, that due to bus shortages and route substitutions, there may be occasions where tracking on your bus is not up-to-date. RVS is working with our contractors to ensure the accuracy of our WheresTheBus data. WheresTheBus will replace the current Bus Status App, which will no longer be available effective March 6, 2025. To create your account, you will need your student’s PowerSchool number, which can be found on PowerSchool or by contacting your school. More information about WheresTheBus including how to create your account, use the app, and frequently asked questions is available on the RVS website. For assistance with WheresTheBus, please submit a ticket through the RVS Transportation Portal.
