Real-Time Route Navigation and Student Ridership Tablet App

BusBoss ROUTEpatrol Tablet App displays real-time route navigation with a heads-up display that allows for easy and safe transportation of your precious cargo. Connecting to BusBoss, the school bus route app reflects your custom path modifications. The app also collects student ridership information including time and location of students boarding and exiting the bus.

Flexible Device Options That Save You Money

Already have tablets? Prefer to source your own hardware? No problem. ROUTEpatrol supports a Bring Your Own Device option so you can reduce upfront costs and stay in control of your equipment.

Many districts have taken advantage of carrier promotions through AT&T and Verizon to receive free or heavily discounted tablets when opening new data lines. We’re happy to coordinate directly with your carrier to ensure the devices meet our minimum specifications, are fully secured and deployment-ready.

Each tablet is professionally configured with Samsung Knox security and optimized for ROUTEpatrol for a simple, reliable rollout; a one-time $150 per device setup fee applies.

Want to see it in action first? Pilot testing is available so your team can evaluate the system in real-world conditions before committing district-wide.
