TRANSPORTATION

Dear Caregivers,

NYC Public Schools has been working on a multi-year project to update NYC’s school transportation system in partnership with Via, the leading provider of Transit Tech. This project helps caregivers and schools with student transportation and improve the efficiency of busing operations. The project will provide real-time bus location and data to all caregivers, students, schools, school staff, school bus drivers, and school bus companies across NYC.

Your school has technology to see the location of certain bus routes for arrival and departure each day. As a next step, NYC Public Schools and Via would like to introduce the NYC School Bus App and your student’s bus route has been selected to join!

You can download the App on your smartphone (iPhone or Android) from the App Store (iPhone), Google Play store (Android), or visit https://doe.app.ridewithvia.com on the web. In the app you can see the location of your student’s bus in real time and track the journey to and from school.

In order to log into the app or the web app, you will need your NYCSA – credentials. If you need support with your NYCSA account, please reach out to your student’s school’s or visit www.schools.nyc.gov/nycsa.

If you have any questions about the app or would like to give feedback, please reach out to your school’s transportation coordinator and they will support you!

We are looking forward to rolling this out.

In partnership,

NYC School Bus Project Team
