Zonar + Child Check-Mate Safety Alert System

As the leader in school bus safety technology, Zonar has partnered with Child Check-Mate to offer a comprehensive solution that meets compliance requirements* and is easy for drivers to use.

Beyond compliance

With Zonar + Child Check-Mate, any supervisors can receive a real-time text or email about which bus has failed its safety check, where it is located and what time the failure happened. Real-time text or email alerts are important because of potential incidents where an alarm sounds in a large bus yard, making identifying the appropriate bus potentially difficult or it simply going unheard. Additionally, the alert serves as a record of which drivers may need more coaching on how to perform their child checks correctly.

• Activates visual and audible alerts when a safety check is not completed
• Sends SMS and email alerts with ZAlerts integration
• Know which bus, its location and when checks were not completed properly
• Digital record of safety checks can be used to coach drivers towards better safety checks
• Capture, transmit and record inspection, compliance and maintenance data electronically with Zonar’s Electronic Verified Inspection Reporting (EVIR®) system

Easy to use

Tone instructions prompt drivers to complete safety checks at required intervals and indicate if the system is functioning correctly. A key FOB is also available to disable the system for easy maintenance.

Improve bus safety

Our EVIR® technology improves and simplifies the pre- and post-trip inspection process, and entirely eliminates paper- based reporting. Compliant with all DOT, OSHA and MSHA inspection requirements, EVIR is the only fully electronic way to perform verified inspections. This inspection information helps to mitigate and prevent critical safety issues, and to reduce overall maintenance costs.

*When properly installed and configured meets current CA requirements per Section 1294, Division 2, Chapter 6.5, Article 6 of Title 13, California Code of Regulations Child Safety Alert Systems (CHP-R-2017-05).
