BCPS launches mobile app to track school buses

TOWSON, MD—The Baltimore County Public Schools Office of Transportation has announced the county-wide implementation of BusWhere, a location tracking app that allows subscribers to see school bus locations in real time on a mobile phone or computer.

With the BusWhere app, subscribers may opt to receive notification as the bus is approaching a designated bus stop or if there is a significant issue causing a delay.

“No more waiting for the bus in the cold weather or scrambling to get to the stop if the bus is a few minutes early,” reads a statement on the BusWhere website. “Get a notification to your cell phone when the bus is getting close, and watch it move on the map in real-time as it approaches your stop.”

This week, parents/caregivers of children who ride school buses should receive an email invitation to create an account directly from BusWhere.
