ADA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A new app is giving Forest Hills parents a little more peace of mind as they send their kids back to school this year.
“I was nervous. I was nervous for myself, I was nervous for him… it was his first time ever getting on a school bus,” said Tracy Davies said of her kindergartner Keegan. “It’s his first time ever being on a bus and getting off the bus, figuring out where he’s supposed to go.”
Thanks to GPS technology, Davies and other parents can track their child’s bus in real time from their smartphone. The app is called Versatrans My Stop.
“They’re able to see their child’s bus information on the app and see where the bus is on the route. So they can be prepared to meet the bus on schedule,” said Darryl Hofstra, transportation director Forest Hills Public Schools.
Hofstra says it’s information parents had been asking for.
