White Plains Adds School Bus Tracker App

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Parents in the White Plains school district now have a way to track where their child's school bus is. The White Plains City School District, in partnership with National Express, its pupil transportation provider, has instituted a GPS bus tracking system, which went into effect Jan. 9.

The Durham Bus Tracker will allow parents and guardians to view the location of their child's bus and see information about the route, with scheduled and estimate arrival times.

Each vehicle is equipped wit GPS technology and will provide information in real time.

District officials said instructions have been sent to families on how to download the app and create a secure account using the child's student ID number.

The app will provide valuable information on changes in vehicles, substitute drivers and schedule delays.

The district will also continue the practice of notifying parents and guardians of any busing updates through the alert system.

More information is available from the district's Transportation Department at 914-422-2056.
