Parents: Save your morning for what matters! Skip the phone calls and long hold times. Report a change in seconds from your phone. No waiting on hold, no confusion
Drivers: No more guess work. Get real time updates on route changes before you even pull out of the lot. Focus on the students who are riding, knowing your route has been optimized for the day.
Dispatch: Cut operational costs instantly. By reducing ‘no student’ stops, you save on idling time, fuel and vehicle wear. Our web-based dashboard give your dispatch team a clear, live view of student attendance without the chaos of morning phone banks.
NBR method of notifying about a bus ride:
– Access to the NBR site is available by cellphone 24/7 for parents, guardians, students and school administrators
– The site is multilingual to allow easy access for everyone
– Fill in info and send (this will take less than a minute!)
– The information is delivered quickly, clearly and concisely directly to dispatchers’ computer.
– Dispatch calls it out with no errors.
– A copy is delivered to your email.
Antiquated Way of calling in a bus ride absence:
Many parents do not call in a students absence from the bus because of archaic methods. It used to be that you would need to:
– Pick up the phone and call a central number
– Wait for the prompts, and then hope you select the right prompt (for those who English is not their primary language, this can be confusing)
– The school must wait for someone to come in and pick up all the voicemails.
– Then they will need to transpose that information on a piece of paper (hopefully correctly and legibly).
– That person will then need to walk that paper over to the dispatcher
