District
South Lewis Central School District is proud to
announce the launch of a new
smartphone based app
called Traversa Ride 360. The FREE
Traversa
Ride 360 app
provides secure access to each student's routing information, including a GPS location of where the
student's bus is
currently located and
provides a live
estimated time of
arrival for each location.
Traversa Ride 360
allows parents and
students to access their own secure data for bus
stop location, route and pick up
time. All of our District buses are equipped with
GPS hardware that
allows users of
Traversa
Ride 360 to
know when to
expect their bus
each day.
This technology allows the District to
be more accessible, integrated and intuitive. Parents and students can easily access their routing information in an accurate and timely manner. Student and routing data is secure, however this data
is synchronized between our routing software and the Traversa Ride
360 app.
Parents and
students can quickly and easily access their student data
with little or
no training. The
friendly user interface will be immediately familiar to anyone who has ever
used any type of mobile app.
Traversa Ride 360
works in combination with a tablet or rather a
“ Tyler Drive” that is
installed on every school bus in
our fleet. Tyler Drive provides state-of-the-art navigation and helps our
drivers handle unanticipated road closures or
missed stops. When a bus needs to be rerouted for any reason, the most safe
and efficient route is always maintained. This technology also eliminates the need for paper maps
and student lists. All tablets have
a motion lock
installed which blacks out the screen whenever the bus
is in motion. Drivers will rely
on the audio instructions to reach the next stop. All of the
data for Tyler Drive is synchronized with our routing software, allowing Transportation Department personnel to
push the most
up to date
information to the
drivers consistently.
The South Lewis Central School District is the
fourth largest school district in geographical size in New
York State. The
District
is comprised of
nearly 365 square miles and transports nearly 1,000 resident students to and
from our campus daily. With twenty four school buses in
our fleet, we
travel almost 2,700 miles a day
or nearly 500,000 miles each year.

App, search for
