BUS BULLETIN Notification System
www.busbulletin.com
This Web-based system was spe- cifically designed to communicate time-sensitive information to par- ents, students, school administra- tors, transportation staff and other district personnel via text message, phone call or e-mail. It allows trans- portation-related messages to be sent quickly, with a few clicks of the mouse, when a bus is delayed or there is severe weather, traffic tie-ups, unsafe driving conditions, an accident or other emergency. Bus Bulletin can also notify parents and students of a substitute bus, a rescheduled route or when a spe- cific bus may be late to a stop.
