Meet today’s challenges with modern smart fleet tech.
Transporting students safely, staying on schedule and keeping parents in the loop is a tall order. Doing it all with limited resources, and amid chronic driver shortages, makes the job more difficult. We understand your challenges. We realize what’s on the line. And we’ll work with you as a partner to optimize your fleet, safeguard student riders and serve your community.
Smarter fleet management, safer students.
The deeper you know your fleet, the more you can do with each bus and every driver. Take less than two minutes to learn how Zonar smart fleet management solutions protect students, keep parents informed and maximize operational efficiency.
Prevent breakdowns and maximize uptime.
Prevent breakdowns and maximize uptime.
Keep buses on the road more—and in the shop less. Remotely monitor vehicle health and diagnostics online, on a single platform. Identify minor problems and issues early. Know when there’s an impending breakdown before the driver does to keep that bus, and its student riders, off the side of the road.
Clearly communicate with parents and guardians.
Clearly communicate with parents and guardians.
Serving today’s communities requires modern tools such as Zonar MyView™. Districts use the back-end to clearly communicate directly with parents and guardians. In turn, they use the MyView mobile app to track their child’s school bus, and make sure they got on and off at the right locations.
More peace of mind for them. Fewer parent phone calls for you.
Make every bus, route and drop of fuel count.
Know your fleet operation in detail to uncover new ways of making the most of every resource you have. Track routes and buses to optimize each one. Identify and address idling to prevent fuel waste. And digitally track eligible ridership to maximize Medicaid reimbursement.

- Standardize and electronically verify bus cleaning protocols.
- Equip each driver with a tablet to use for every essential task to limit their contact and protect their health.
- Support contact tracing with digital rider visibility.
- Use the parent-facing app to easily send COVID-related updates and alerts.
- Screen drivers for symptoms before every shift with a simple, non-invasive digital questionnaire.
