Arlington Public School buses are equipped with GPS technology that may benefit your household. The WheresTheBus parent app lets you know precisely when your student’s bus will arrive at your bus stop. This app is free to all APS bus riding households. The system also helps APS Transportation efficiently manage our bus fleet.
** On the app, you may need an update from the App Store or Google Play if your app still shows bus number data instead of bus route data.

This service allows one login per household. All household users can log in and use the same account without issue.
