Chattooga County families will have a new tool to make bus rides easier to follow this school year. The Chattooga Transportation Department is launching Zonar MyView, a mobile app that allows parents and guardians to see exactly where their child’s bus is in real time, helping cut down on waiting and bringing extra peace of mind to afternoons and mornings on the route.

Getting started begins today at home: students who ride the bus are bringing a flyer in their backpacks with the information families need to activate the app. The flyer includes a Unique ID number that helps secure each account. Families can follow the directions on the flyer to download and set up Zonar MyView, then turn on alerts to get notifications when the bus is approaching their stop or home area.

The app is designed to reduce uncertainty for parents and students alike by showing bus location updates as they happen, helping families better plan pickup times and avoid standing outside longer than necessary. For anyone who has questions, needs help getting set up, or didn’t receive a flyer, the district is asking families to contact Mr. James Baird at jbaird@chattooga.k12.ga.us.
