We are excited to introduce the implementation of Here Comes the Bus, a parent application which will put information in the palm of our families’ hands for student transportation. This app will assist with getting critical information out to parents/guardians such as...
- Scheduled and actual arrival times at home and school for bus routes
- Real-time location of your child's bus on a map
- Notifications about vehicle substitutions
- Customize a radius around the bus stop to be notified when the bus enters and leaves that radius
Stay up to date as the district continues conversations regarding the Transportation Facility. We've created a Transportation Facility webpage that can be accessed from the district website, to share updates and information. On the webpage you will find concept designs and updated frequently asked questions.

Upper Dublin School District has partnered with the I Love U Guys Foundation (iloveuguys.org) to ensure that our emergency responses are complying with the national best practices.

We have already completed training with all of our staff and will be introducing the changes to our students through both instruction and participation in the five response procedures. Parents/Guardians are encourage you to go on the iloveuguys website to review the five standard responses and discuss with your child(ren).
