Here Comes the Bus tracking app

WCPSS Transportation provides families of students who ride a yellow bus to school with a free tracking system called Here Comes the Bus.

Here Comes the Bus uses GPS data to show your child’s bus location on a map. You can use it on a computer, tablet, or smartphone to see where the bus is and how close it is to your stop.

How to get started

To sign up, you will need:

• The district code: 67500 (Yellow Bus) or 67501 (Vendor Transportation Services)

• Your student’s ID number

Visit the Here Comes the Bus sign-up page to create your account.

For smartphones or tablets, download the app from the App Store or Google Play.

Entering your student’s name

When entering your student’s last name:

• Use the spelling exactly as shown in Campus Parent.

• Include any hyphens.

• Only enter the first 18 characters.
  
  

For example, if the name is Yellow-School Bus Wake, enter Yellow-School Bus.

Using the app

Once activated, you can:

• Customize notification settings

• Adjust how the app communicates with you

• Change the notification radius
  
  

Please note that the app does not track buses between schools or for afterschool activities and athletic events.
