WayWink for parents
Know more about the journey without calling the school.
Parents get a dedicated WayWink app for their children’s transportation—live bus location, ETA, availability, journey status, alerts and attendance history in one place.

A simpler parent experience
Transportation information in one place.
Parents often need transport information at the exact moment a school office is already busy managing vehicles, drivers and active trips.
WayWink gives families their own view into the transportation journey. Instead of relying entirely on phone calls or message chains, parents can see information connected directly to their children and active school transport.
The parent experience is connected to the same underlying trip information used by the school and driver, while still showing only the information relevant to the authorized family.
Parent essentials
Useful information before, during and after the trip.
Live bus visibility
Follow the active school transport journey and see the bus within its route context.
ETA information
See estimated arrival information so the family has better context around when the bus is approaching.
Availability before the trip
Parents can indicate whether a child is expected to travel, helping the driver prepare for the stop.
Attendance history
Review recorded transport attendance and understand the child’s historical journey activity.
Before the journey
Tell the transport team when your child will not travel.
Parents can mark a child available or unavailable before the trip. That information becomes part of the transport context, helping the driver understand which students should be expected at each stop.

Attendance

Multiple children
One parent experience across participating schools.
If a parent has children attending different schools and those schools both use WayWink, the children can appear within the same parent account.
Each child remains connected to their own school transport information while the parent avoids having to manage separate transport experiences.
