We take the safe Transportation of your student seriously and believe the safety features of this product greatly enhance the safety and security of our student body.

No information is stored on a Smart Tag Bus Badge.  Each card contains an RFID chip with a unique 14 digit code that is assigned to that student.  No other or personal information is stored on the card.

Tags only have a 14-digit code which represents the student information in the system. The badge only registers when a student gets on and off the bus and cannot be read/tracked anywhere else or read/tracked by any other product or method.

Yes, guardians will be able to view a student’s ridership activity for the entire school year through the Parent Portal.  If a guardian wants to review the daily history, it will take a minute from loading/unloading the bus for SMART tag to update its records due to network connectivity. Be aware it may take longer if there is a poor signal or the network provider is experiencing a delay/latency issue out of the school district’s control. 

No, there are no longer bus passes.  All students need to load and unload at their assigned stops and ride their assigned buses.  If a family has different households that the student may be visiting, they will need to register those addresses and days assigned with the school registrar who will then ensure Transportation gets the information loaded into Smart Tag.

Yes.  This is for safety and security, it will also ensure your student is on the right bus to/from school.  Smart Tag Bus Badges are required for all bus riders.  Contact SVSD Transportation office to ensure your student has a printed Smart Tag Bus Badge.

If the student does not have their bus badge, they will need to wait to be the last student loaded as the driver will need to manually log them in and as this is a time consuming process, may cause a delay in the running of the route.

If your student lost their bus badge, have them let their school know and the office will email us with the Smart Tag requests.
