Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As we approach the winter months, the threat of severe winter is looming. Sending your child to the bus stop in severe weather can be stressful. To help keep children safe at the bus stop and give you peace of mind, don’t forget to sign up our new innovative mobile device app and website -Here Comes the Bus®.

As we head deeper into the fall season our days are growing shorter making many bus stops much darker in the morning. To help keep our students safe, Alliance City Schools has adopted an innovative mobile device app and website -Here Comes the Bus®.


Here Comes the Bus allows you to view the real-time location of your child’s school bus on your smartphone, tablet or computer. With it, you will have the information you need to send your children to the bus stop at just the right time, helping to protect them from darker mornings, inclement weather and other roadside dangers. What’s more, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your children haven’t missed the bus.

Here Comes the Bus is free for the 2016-17 school year, and enables you to:

See the location of your child’s bus both before and after school

Confirm that your child’s bus has arrived at the bus stop, at school or both

Receive a push notification* or email message when the bus is near, and more

Here Comes the Bus is powered by Synovia Solutions™, makers of the GPS-tracking technology used by Alliance City Schools to increase safety and cost savings as it relates to our school bus fleet.

Available in three languages (English, Spanish and French), the Here Comes the Bus app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
