Frequently Asked Questions
How do Kenyan parents see the school bus in real time?
The parent app (Android and iOS) shows live GPS, ETA to the child’s stop, and driver contact. Pickup and drop-off push alerts fire when the bus enters the stop geofence.
Does school bus tracking meet NTSA PSV requirements?
School buses operating as PSVs need functioning GPS and, where required, a certified speed governor. TrackAlways installs NTSA-oriented GPS with overspeed alerts and 12-month route history for inspections.
How is student attendance marked so no child is left on the bus?
Drivers mark attendance in the driver app; optional Matrix RFID or fingerprint readers confirm boarding. The school admin dashboard flags any child still marked on board after the last stop.
What happens if a bus speeds or leaves its authorised route?
Geo-fences around the school and route corridor trigger instant alerts. Speed events are logged for the school and can be tied to a speed governor for NTSA evidence.
