OA Transportation Department Launches New APP to better serve parents and bus riders June 16, 2023 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, including current routes/drivers - and we encourage parents to log in and familiarize themselves with the features. Beginning for Summer Enrichment bussing, and into the new school year, families will no longer receive transportation information via mailed postcards. ALL bussing information will be available for parents to view via Traversa Ride360. Note: Traversa Ride360 will replace MySTOP at the end of the School Year. Full instructions on how to create your account and add your students can be found here: https://5il.co/1weuz The direct URL used for both the website and mobile app is here: https://NYOwegoApalachinCSD.myridek12.tylerapp.com/ A few additional notes… -Summer Enrichment routes will change WEEKLY and all updates will be available to view in Ride360. Parents must check their students bussing information heading into each week of Summer Enrichment. -Students who attend BOCES Summer Programs and Camp Ahwaga should have a fairly consistent schedule all summer long. We would encourage you to make a habit of checking the app each week.
