## Connect the dots for safer students.

Integrate Z Pass with [Zonar Bus Suite](https://www.zonar.com/solutions/bus-suite/ "A complete school bus routing ecosystem.") to digitally track ridership within an all-in-one school bus ecosystem that combines advanced routing, telematics and other student safety technology.

Enable drivers to prevent wrong bus, wrong stop mistakes with instant rider verification. And empower parents to track their student’s school bus on their mobile device. All with integrated Z Pass scan data.

## Support safety with secure visibility.

Safeguard riders with real-time, online visibility into who’s on board which bus, where and when. Each RFID card is always—and only—associated to a unique identification number. No personal student information is captured or stored.

See the dates, times and locations each rider boards and exits. If needed, work with emergency personnel when they need that information ASAP.

## Expand safety strategies with seamless integrations.

Z Pass creates a foundation of data to further safeguard student riders. The ridership data it collects informs other solutions to safeguard student riders and keep parents in the loop.

#### Prevent wrong bus, wrong stop incidents.

Equip drivers with [Zonar Bus Suite](https://www.zonar.com/solutions/bus-suite/ "Rider Verification"). As students scan their RFID card, drivers reference Verify’s stop-by-stop manifest on their tablet to visually confirm right student, right bus, right stop.

#### Give parents peace of mind.

Empower parents and guardians with the [Zonar MyView™](https://www.zonar.com/solutions/myview-bus-tracking-app/ "Parent school bus tracking app") mobile app to track their child’s bus on their own. And see when and where their child boarded or exited.
