Smart routing and planning
Our patent-pending routing builds efficient routes from where riders actually live, tests “what if” changes before you commit, and redraws around closures automatically.

Patent-pending RFID and routing technology
Every rider. Every stop. Accounted for.
SimplySafeChild counts every student on and off the bus, plans smarter routes, tracks your fleet live, and tells parents exactly when the bus is coming. No child gets left behind on a bus.

One platform for the whole ride.
Start with smart routing, then add the pieces your district needs. Everything shares the same map, the same riders, and the same live data.
RFID ridership
A small tag on a backpack is read at the bus door. You know who got on, where, and when, with no phone needed.
How tags workEmpty-bus check
At the end of every route, everyone who boarded must be counted off. If not, the driver and dispatch are alerted right away.
See the checkParent alerts
“Bus is 5 minutes away.” “Maya boarded.” “Bus 22 has a flat, new arrival 3:41.” The updates parents want, the moment they matter.

GPS tracking, route adherence, turn-by-turn directions, digital rosters and pre-trip inspections, all in one connected system.

Small hardware. Big peace of mind.
A tiny chip, a student ID your kids already carry, and screens that show every bus in real time.
The RFID chip
A small, round chip with a built-in antenna. It needs no battery and no charging. The reader at the bus door powers it for a split second as a student walks by, and records the moment they get on or off.

Student IDs with a tracking chip inside
The chip is built right into the student ID card. Kids carry their ID like they always do, and the bus knows exactly who boarded. No phone, no app, and nothing extra to remember.
On the big screen, and in your pocket.
The transportation office watches every bus from the command center. Parents follow their child’s bus from the app. Both see the same live map.

The problem we set out to solve
No child should ever be left on a bus.
On many routes, the last line of defense is a tired driver walking the aisle at the end of a long shift. It usually works. When it doesn’t, the results can be tragic.
- Every rider is counted on and counted off automatically
- Mismatches alert the driver before the bus is parked
- Dispatch and the school are notified at the same moment
Your whole fleet, live.
The command center shows every bus, every rider count, and every route that needs attention, updated second by second.

A morning on Route 14.
What one ordinary school morning looks like for Maya, her dad, and the transportation office.
Route loads automatically
Today’s riders, stop changes and a road closure are already built into the route.
Dad gets a heads-up
“Bus 14 is 5 minutes away.” Maya finishes breakfast instead of waiting in the rain.
Maya boards
Her backpack tag is read at the door. Dad sees “Maya boarded at Oak St.”
Arrives at school
Maya is counted off. Dad gets a final confirmation.
Bus confirmed empty
All 18 riders are off. The route closes out and the bus heads back.
