WheresTheBus™ Parent App

NCPS households can now know when their student’s bus will arrive at their stop.

Any member of the household can access your student’s information from any internet connected device.

Bus location is monitored by GPS and information is transmitted by cellular service. Please note: Households may see small skips in data due to limited cell service.
