Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Chipmunk App?
Chipmunk tracks your school bus and tells you where the bus is, when it will arrive at your child’s stop, and provides alerts for cancellations and closures that may affect you.
Gone are the days where kids must wait in the pouring rain or freezing cold for their bus. You will know where the bus is and when it will arrive - to keep you informed.
Most school buses are equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) trackers that locates the position of the bus.
Chipmunk mobilizes this information in a simple but meaningful way – with both a map and ETA information –
so that you can be prepared for the arrival of the bus.
In order to use Chipmunk, your school district or school transportation authority must offer the service.
They will provide you with a quick-code to enable you to create an account and subscribe to the service.
