My Ride K-12 app

Grants Pass School District 7 transportation department has spent the last year working diligently on continued safety improvements and implementing technology to improve service to the families in Grants Pass School District 7.  

We have added GPS to each bus with our routing software linked to it. This allows all drivers to drive the route almost exactly the same even when there is a substitute.  When a student’s rider card is scanned, that student’s information will be automatically updated in our routing system. That will allow school personnel to access bus ridership in real time. 

Parents will also have access to a mobile app called My Ride K-12. The app allows parents to see the pick-up and drop-off times their student has assigned to them. It will also allow them to view where the bus is on its route in real time.
