How it works
Riders scan a passive RFID card to the Z Pass reader inside the bus door as they board and exit.
Z Pass captures the date, time and location of each scan. Then transmits it to a secure database.
Connect the dots for safer students.
Integrate Z Pass with Zonar Bus Suite to digitally track ridership within an all-in-one school bus ecosystem that combines advanced routing, telematics and other student safety technology.
Enable drivers to prevent wrong bus, wrong stop mistakes with instant rider verification. And empower parents to track their student’s school bus on their mobile device. All with integrated Z Pass scan data.
Support safety with secure visibility.
Safeguard riders with real-time, online visibility into who’s on board which bus, where and when. Each RFID card is always—and only—associated to a unique identification number. No personal student information is captured or stored.
See the dates, times and locations each rider boards and exits. If needed, work with emergency personnel when they need that information ASAP.
Expand safety strategies with seamless integrations.
Z Pass creates a foundation of data to further safeguard student riders. The ridership data it collects informs other solutions to safeguard student riders and keep parents in the loop.
Prevent wrong bus, wrong stop incidents.
Equip drivers with Zonar Bus Suite. As students scan their RFID card, drivers reference Verify’s stop-by-stop manifest on their tablet to visually confirm right student, right bus, right stop.
Give parents peace of mind.
Empower parents and guardians with the Zonar MyView™ mobile app to track their child’s bus on their own. And see when and where their child boarded or exited.
Easily maximize Medicaid reimbursement.
Increase fleet revenue while reducing your risk of an audit. Use Z Pass to digitally pull and submit data for Medicaid reimbursement in a fraction of the time it takes for manual reporting. Less risk, faster reporting, more accurate reimbursement.
Because of our district’s size, they knew we needed to do something to identify where these students were and that we were putting them on where they needed to get on and off where they needed to get off.
Brenda Renken, Transportation Systems and Technical Analyst
It’s not just about our paid ridership. We also want to know which kids are riding which days of the week to improve our routing plans and ultimately have greater efficiency on less bduses on different days of the week.
