In this blog post, learn how to set up a solution that enables school districts to notify a targeted group of parents about school bus breakdowns and delays via the parent’s preferred method of communication (i.e., phone call, SMS, or email), when a bus driver reports it.

Through the same process, the system notifies parents that the bus is back in service or provides alternate instructions for student pickup.
