Bus Routes / Traversa Ride 360
Traversa Overview
Walla Walla Public Schools Transportation Department is partnering with the Traversa RIDE 360 program to streamline computerized bus routing and parent communications. The Traversa software improves operational efficiency, lowers transportation costs and improves student safety. Bus routes are easily created to best meet the needs of students and families and the software provide numerous communication tools. Be sure to use the 6 digit student ID number beginning with 8 when setting up the account for your child. You will need to remove the zero at the start of the Student ID number since the Traversa system won't recognize it.
The dynamic RIDE 360 website and cell phone app allows parents to access their child’s school bus number, drop off and pick up locations and times confidentially. Traversa also provides the Transportation Department the ability to alert parents about weather delays, school cancelations and if the school bus is running late. Download the app and website guidebooks below to learn how to begin using this new software.
