Stopfinder App Information
Quigley Bus Services’ new bus tracking app, Stopfinder, will be released to our district families on Thursday, December 4th.
The app replaces Here Comes the Bus and integrates with the transportation’s bus routing system and new GPS equipment to provide up-to-the-minute information to families. Quigleys has completed training and multiple pilots with the application to provide a smooth transition for our users – including a building-wide pilot with Washington Elementary. The pilots included user feedback, system updates, and collaboration with the vendor and district personnel in preparation for the 4th.
The invitations will be addressed from Stopfinder no-reply@stopfinder.com and arrive throughout the day on December 4th. It is important to note that your email service provider may forward messages from unrecognized email addresses to your junk/spam/trash folders. Based on the internal and external pilot programs, we do know that this has happened to some of our participants. We kindly ask that you please always check these folders for Stopfinder information before reaching out to Quigley for additional support.
Invitations will ONLY be sent to Priority 1 and Priority 2 contacts within Infinite Campus. Those contacts can then share the service with others. HOWEVER, neither the district nor Quigley will be able to invite other student contacts to the program for safety and security reasons. The invitations will include specific instructions on signing up for the service and sharing with others.
Quigley will ask you to follow this protocol when asking for help with the application registration process:
If you are a Priority 1 or 2 student-contact in IC AND, you have checked those email folder locations, AND it is later than 9 AM on Friday,December 5th, AND you have not received your invitation to sign up for the app, please notify Quigley Bus Service via email to transportation@boyertownasd.org. Please remember, all district families will receive their invitations to this service on the same day. We ask that you allow up to 3-5 business days for a response.
There is NOTHING for you to do NOW, and Quigley cannot add users to the system before the 4th. You will receive additional reminders from BASD regarding this rollout in the coming days, all leading up to your invitation on the 4th. Please stay tuned!
