01 — The Problem
Ten minutes of pure guesswork, every morning, in every district in America.
Parents stand on curbs refreshing nothing. Office phones ring with “where’s the bus?” calls. Drivers communicate through a chain of three people. A delay travels by rumor.
The bus already knows where it is. It has a GPS, a driver, a route, a roster, a schedule. None of that information reaches the people who need it most. NextStop closes that loop.
02 — What each role gets
Three apps. One shared truth: the bus, right now.
Drivers
Hands on the wheel. Everything else handled.
- 01One-tap route start with turn-by-turn nav
- 02Broadcast delays to every parent in a single tap
- 03Pickup & dropoff confirmation per student
- 04Hands-free notification mode while moving
Schools
Run the fleet from a single dashboard.
- 01Manage students, routes, drivers, vehicles
- 02Closed enrollment — verified against school records
- 03Live tracking and incident replay on demand
- 04White-label brandable for districts
03 — The Dashboard
For the school office: everything on one screen.
The Command Center is what the front desk leaves open all day. Active routes, on-time performance, and the live position of every bus — without a phone call.

04 — How it works
Up and running in three steps.
- 01
School uploads its roster.
Students, routes, and parent emails arrive in NextStop the way they already live in your SIS. Verified, scoped to school, ready in an afternoon.
- 02
Parents are matched and invited.
Parents already on file get an invite to the app. We match against records you provide — no sign-up codes, no open registration, no guessing.
- 03
Drivers start the route.
The first morning the driver taps Start, parents see the bus on the map. The phone calls to the office stop the same week.
05 — Security & Privacy
Built around student privacy from day one.
NextStop runs on a closed enrollment model. Access to a child’s location is derived from a parent-student relationship the school confirms — not from an open token, not from a sign-up code. Every architectural decision was made with FERPA, district policy, and student safety in mind.
Read the security overviewClosed enrollment
Parents are matched against records the school provides. No public signup.
FERPA-aligned
Data access is scoped to the parent–student relationship, not the org.
SOC 2 Type II In progress
Annual independent audit covering security, availability, and confidentiality. Report under NDA.
Driver privacy
Parents message drivers without ever seeing a phone number or address.
Data residency
US-region only. Encrypted in transit and at rest. No third-party ad SDKs.
Right to deletion
Schools own the data. Export and purge on demand, district-wide.
