Fort Bend ISD (August 2, 2024) - The district will soon launch its Stopfinder bus software system which will allow parents and school staff to verify route information, arrival times and confirmation that students are on the right bus.

The system will provide almost real-time, accurate information about students’ ridership.

The system is secure and only accessible for authorized registered users.

Students will use ID badges to scan when they get on or exit a bus. The badges will help drivers ensure students are on the right bus and being picked up or dropped off at the right stop.

Badges can also be used at school in the cafeteria and in the library to check out books.

All FBISD students will receive ID badges, protective sleeves and lanyards for the start of school and be expected to wear them at school and on the bus.

A few weeks after the start of school, the Stopfinder program will launch and parents will receive a notice to download the Stopfinder app on their smartphones.

The district will provide additional information when the app is ready to be downloaded. 

Use of the Stopfinder system is one of the newest resources FBISD is utilizing to ensure our students remain safe and secure throughout the school day and beyond.
