On-Board Tablets to Support School Bus Drivers at Every Turn

Tyler Drive™ on-board tablets are fully integrated with Tyler’s Student Transportation software — an industry-first pairing that helps keep drivers and routers in sync. The tablet eliminates guesswork for drivers: it provides turn-by-turn directions following the exact assigned route, identifies students assigned to each stop, and can even reroute as needed while following pre-determined safety protocols.

Built specifically for the school transportation industry, Tyler Drive is available on a semi-rugged tablet mounted on your school bus console. This complete on-board solution offers more than navigation, it also helps districts manage student ridership, employee timekeeping, and pre- and post-trip vehicle inspections.

  • Turn-by-turn navigation and automatic rerouting maintains route integrity and efficiency

  • Built-in GPS for automatic vehicle location (AVL) and data transfer to parent communication apps

  • On-screen student information helps drivers identify students at each stop

  • Motion Lock audio-only setting eliminates the distraction of paper maps and student lists
