Why schools add GPS tracking
When a bus runs late, parents worry and the transport desk takes the same calls again and again. A live map answers the question before it is asked, and gives the school a record of routes and timings.
What it gives you
- Live location of each bus for parents and the school.
- Boarding and drop-off alerts to parents when the student taps an RFID card on the bus.
- Speed alerts when a bus exceeds the limit the school sets.
- Geo-fence alerts when a bus leaves its route or a defined area.
- Route and stop management, with each student assigned to a bus and stop and arrival times shared with parents.
- Connection to the wider TITUS platform and Titus Campus app.
Works with attendance and calling
Combine tracking with attendance software and parent calling to give families a complete picture of the school day.

Frequently asked questions
How does a school bus tracking app work?
A GPS device on the bus reports its position. The app or platform shows that position to authorised parents and school staff.
Who can see the bus location?
It is designed for parents and school staff. Exactly how it appears in the app is confirmed during setup.
Are parents told when their child boards the bus?
Yes. When the student taps their RFID card on the bus, the parent is alerted on boarding and again on drop-off.
Does the school get speed and route alerts?
Yes. The school sets a speed limit and route boundaries, and is alerted when a bus exceeds the limit or leaves its route.
Do you supply the GPS devices?
We supply and support the tracking devices as part of the service, with details agreed with your school based on your fleet.
