1. Ensure your district has the right equipment to maximize the use of the parent app functionality. Please check with your customer account rep for more information.
   • Do you want parents to track the bus? Tablets with SafeDriver360 or GPS capabilities, or GPS units, are required for this functionality.
   • Do you want to track student ridership? Student tracking requires the use of QR codes + scanner devices, or manual student attendance is required
   • Do you want parents to submit transportation requests? Your district can opt in to let parents manage and request transportation to and from school, to and from particular addresses.
   • If none of the above, then the parent app will mainly serve as a way for parents to check their student(s) bus schedule and receive push notification updates from the district (sent via EZRouting Real-Time Notifications)
2. Enable the Parent Portal/EZA2B
3. Adjust settings for EZA2B
   • You and your team can internally test the app first to see how the permissions look, if the maximum radius feels appropriate, etc. To learn more about these settings, please read this article.
