A reader at the driver's station records which operator is driving each transit bus, so every run, every incident and every driving score is tied to the right person. We install them at your depot across Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi.
Each operator taps a badge or key fob on a reader mounted near the seat at the start of a shift or at a relief point. The tracker tags everything after that tap to that operator until the next one logs in.
Transit buses change hands during the day at relief points, so the bus number alone does not say who was driving at a given minute. When a rider files a complaint or a camera captures an incident, the operator record answers the first question right away.
Operator records also help with payroll and training. Hours behind the wheel come straight from the bus instead of paper sheets, and coaching can be based on each operator's own driving rather than the average of everyone who used that bus.
Often. Many readers can read the employee badges agencies already issue for building access. We confirm the badge type before ordering readers, so operators do not need to carry a second card.
Within reach of the seated operator, away from the farebox and the door controls, so riders do not mistake it for fare equipment. The wiring runs behind the panels to the tracker.
Operator ID sits on the same trip record as location, video and passenger counts. When dispatch or a claims adjuster pulls up a trip, they see who was driving, where the bus was and what the cameras recorded, all from one place.
City and county transit agencies, paratransit operators, university, hospital and airport shuttles, and private contractors running fixed routes. See everything we install on a transit bus on our transit bus tracking page.
We wire PTO monitoring into trackers from all of these brands. Need heavy duty trackers for trucks or heavy equipment? Every brand below makes them, so pick yours and we install it.
Common questions
The new operator taps in, and the record switches to them from that moment.
Yes. See school bus driver identification.
Every major brand, including Geotab, Samsara, Motive, Verizon Connect, Azuga, Zonar, Lytx and Netradyne.
The trip is still tracked without an operator name, and most platforms flag it so supervisors can follow up the same day.
Often not. If the agency's building badges can be read by the reader, operators use the badge they already carry.
