One Platform for Your Team. One App for Parents
School transportation works best when everyone has the right level of visibility, without being overwhelmed by information they do not need.
With Track Star, districts can manage school buses inside the same powerful fleet platform used for safety, maintenance, and daily operations. At the same time, parents get access to a separate tracking experience designed specifically for quick, clear updates.
This way, transportation teams stay focused on running the fleet, while parents stay informed and up-to-date with their kids' whereabouts.

Smart Features That Protect Our Kids
Safety is built directly into the platform and continuously monitored across every route. Transportation teams can track speeding, harsh driving, unauthorized stops, and excessive idling while reviewing driver safety scores over time.
When incidents occur, detailed timelines and route history make it easier to understand exactly what happened and respond appropriately.
This creates accountability, supports safer driving habits, and helps districts document compliance when it matters most.

Built-in Maintenance
Track Star helps districts stay ahead of maintenance by monitoring vehicle health and automating preventive maintenance workflows. Diagnostic alerts, work orders, inspection history, and service records all live in one place.

A school bus tracking software is a system that uses GPS and vehicle data to monitor bus location, routes, safety events, and performance in real time, helping districts improve visibility, safety, and operational control.
Track Star manages school buses inside a full enterprise fleet platform, not a school-only tool. That means GPS tracking, maintenance, safety, compliance and reporting live in one system instead of fragmented dashboards.
Track Star separates parent visibility from district operations. Parents use a dedicated tracking experience limited to bus location and timing, while fleet data, reports, and controls remain restricted to authorized staff.
Yes. Track Star is built for complex, mixed fleets and can connect to OEM modems, third-party hardware, and existing systems, which makes it a strong fit for large districts with legacy infrastructure.
Track Star stores detailed trip history, route playback, timestamps, and safety events, allowing districts to quickly investigate incidents, respond to parent concerns, and support audits with accurate, time-stamped data.
