Viewing Your Student's Bus Route via Traversa Ride 360
Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, Traverse City Area Public Schools will be utilizing a new transportation routing software system, known as Traversa. Busing information will no longer be available via the PowerSchool Parent Portal, but through the Traversa Ride 360 website or app which allows parents to easily access their child’s routing information, view transportation alerts, and send messages to the dispatch office.
To access your child’s bus route information through Traversa Ride 360, you will first need to create a Ride 360 account.
Getting Started With Traversa Ride 360
-
Have your student’s TCAPS ID number readily available. This number can be found on your student’s ID badge, from your PowerSchool Parent Portal, or by contacting your school office.
-
Read the Traversa Ride 360 instructions to set up your account via website (https://MITraverseCityAPS.myridek12.tylerapp.com/) or by downloading the Traversa Ride 360 app.
School District = Traverse City Area Public Schools
Student Information Needed = Student ID Number, Student First Nam
Check Your Routing Information Frequently
Please note that bus stops and/or pick up/drop off times may change throughout the school year should new students need to be added to existing routes. Although we will do our best to keep you informed, it may not always be possible for us to let you know of time/stop changes in advance. We recommend that you check this information frequently throughout the school year, especially during the first few weeks of the school year.
For More Information
For more information or assistance with your child's busing or setting up your Traversa Ride 360 account, please contact the transportation department at 231.933.1933.
