We are excited to announce that starting in the 2025-2026 school year, parents will have access to a revolutionary smartphone app that helps to improve communication, school bus safety, and efficiency. The Edulog Parent Portal app provides you with planned time and location information for your child’s bus ride to school. On a daily basis, the app will show you the GPS location of the bus and send you a push notification when it is nearing your bus stop.

 

This app is free of charge for our parents, caregivers, and students. In addition to displaying the location of your bus and sending the notifications, you can also receive time-sensitive messages from our transportation department. You will also receive notification when a substitute bus is running your route due to scheduled maintenance on your regular bus, for example.

 

The Edulog Parent Portal app integrates with our school bus routing system, which is also provided by Education Logistics, Inc. (Edulog), a premier provider of school bus technology. School bus locations are sent from a GPS device installed on each bus which not only provides up-to-date information for you, but also for our school bus maintenance staff who need to know the real-time location of each bus for maintenance and other service requirements.

 

The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store – Choose Edulog Parent Portal (See photo of the app at the bottom of this page)

 

Security is important.  Only you have access to your student’s transportation information through the app via a secure login process. You must know your student’s school of attendance, ID number and date of birth in addition to the exact spelling of his or her first name and last name.

 

Please know that our goal is to provide safe and efficient transportation for all children who use Bensalem Township School District Transportation. By improving communication and expanding the information available to you by implementing this app, we are working hard to meet and exceed that goal.

 

Additional information about using Edulog Parent Portal is available. Click "Edulog Parent Portal" in the blue box on the right of this page.

 

If you have additional questions regarding the app, please contact our transportation department at:  215-750-2800 ext. 4401

 

Thank you,

Bensalem Township School District Transportation Team

Pupil transportation is an important part of the school program.  Maintaining order on school buses requires the cooperation of pupils, parents, teachers, principals and bus drivers.  Transportation of students is provided by the Bensalem Township School District in accordance with State Regulations and District Policies.  Transportation of students is a privilege, not a right.

The Bensalem Township School District Transportation Department works closely with the schools, students and their parents to ensure a safe, dependable and efficient ride to and from school.  Riding on a school bus is the safest way for your child to travel.  All drivers are trained and certified according to state mandates.  They are also required to pass all state and federal background checks for Criminal Records, Child Abuse and Fingerprinting.

We hope you find the information presented here helpful. Please use one of the following methods to contact us with any questions or concerns regarding your child’s transportation to and from school.
