TransAct, a K-12 transportation technology provider, recently announced the launch of its new EZ A2B parent app. The app is now available nationwide as part of the company’s comprehensive EZ Routing student transportation suite.

Following its rollout, some districts are already using the program. Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS), a Virginia-based school district and the 32nd largest in the U.S., is the first to use the new app as part of their recent implementation of the full EZ Routing platform.

To modernize their transportation operations, PWCS’ deployment includes route planning and scheduling, daily route management, turn-by-turn navigation via onboard tablets, and the EZ A2B parent app, now available at no additional cost to all EZ Routing customers.

“Our goal has always been to make school transportation smarter, safer, and more connected — for administrators and parents,” said Nate Brogan, CEO at TransAct. “PWCS’ leadership and collaboration helped us fine-tune the EZ A2B experience for real-world use, and we’re proud to launch this powerful, inclusive app as a core part of our nationwide offering.”

How PWCS Helped Shape the EZ A2B Experience

The EZ A2B app helps school districts better serve their families and communities through:

• Customizable alert zones for accurate, real-time bus arrival notifications.

• Multi-guardian access for shared oversight across caregivers.

• Full multilingual support in nine languages: English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, French, Urdu, and Pashto, with more to come.

• ADA-compliant design, ensuring accessibility for users with disabilities.

• Real-time ride tracking, reducing support calls, and increasing parent peace of mind.

PWCS played a key role in shaping the enhanced app experience by driving the development of 74 new design elements and 11 new features, which are now included as standard for all EZ A2B customers nationwide.

In addition to improved family engagement, PWCS is realizing operational benefits across its transportation team, including:

• Smarter route planning through a more intuitive software interface.

• Comprehensive driver credential tracking, including training and compliance management.

• Seamless interoperability across routing, bus tablets, and communication tools in a single, cloud-native platform.
