How SmartRide supports safer, connected student transportation.
Prioritizing student safety and reliable internet access during commutes is critical for K-12 schools. SmartRide helps districts achieve this with real-time GPS tracking, onboard safety monitoring, and Wi-Fi connectivity, transforming buses into safe, connected learning environments.
School districts across the country have implemented SmartRide using federal and state funding programs, including Title I, Title IV, and the EPA Clean School Bus Program. This guide outlines a clear approach to identifying and aligning these funding opportunities to support connected transportation initiatives.
Inside, you’ll see how connected bus technology can strengthen student safety, extend digital learning beyond the classroom, and support measurable outcomes that matter to stakeholders.
