My Ride K-12 new features

Parkway Transportation is implementing an upgraded feature in the My Ride K-12 app that allows families to receive real-time push notifications when:

• Your child's bus is approaching the bus stop

• Your child's bus is running early or late

The new enhancement, now active district-wide, was piloted in November on bus routes at Oak Brook, Wren Hollow, and Southwest Middle. It builds on the existing capabilities, including bus stop locations and pick-up/drop-off schedules.

• When installing the app, be sure to allow notifications when prompted.
• If already installed, you may need to check your phone settings to ensure notifications are allowed for the My Ride K-12 app.
• Within the app, you can select which notifications you want to receive.

• You will continue to receive text messages and emails from Parkway Transportation when your child’s bus is running late. The My Ride K-12 app provides additional features and more detailed tracking information.

• Questions about bus transportation that are not specific to the app should be directed to Transportation by calling 314-415-8400.
