ICYMI - New for the 2023-2024 School Year:
The Owego Apalachin Transportation Department has launched a new Mobile App & Website for tracking student bussing information. This new app, called Traversa Ride360, is not only a bus tracking app, but it will also serve to inform parents of their students' Pick up and Drop off times & locations, Bus number(s), and Driver Name.
The app and website are live NOW, and we encourage parents to log in and familiarize themselves with the features. Families will no longer receive transportation information via mailed postcards. ALL bussing information will be available for parents to view via Traversa Ride360.
Full instructions on how to create your account and add your students can be found here: https://5il.co/1weuz
*Student ID is the same as their 4 or 5-digit Lunch Number. This can be found in your SchoolTool Parent Portal Account (which will open for the new school year on August 28th.)
The direct URL used for both the website and mobile app is here: https://nyowegoapalachincsd.myridek12.tylerapp.com/
