Transportation

Weathersfield Local School District utilizes EZ Arrival school bus transportation app that provides families with accurate, real-time information about their students' buses. The app is integrated with our transportation management system and helps ensure families are informed about bus schedules, arrival times, and potential delays or changes. 

With EZ Arrival families can:

• View assigned bus stop locations and pickup/drop-off times
• Track the bus as it approaches your student's stop
• Receive push notifications about delays or route changes
• Access all your linked students in one account

Before you can use the app, parents must first create an account with EZRouting. Once your account is set up in EZRouting you will be able to access your student's information in the EZ Arrival app. Click here to set up your EZRouting account.

EZ Arrival FAQ

Why is my student not showing in my account?

If the account information differs from the district records, manual linking of the student may be required. Please follow the instructions below.

Link a Student to an Account

1. After logging in, go to the “Students” tab and tap the “Add Student” icon in the upper left corner.
2. Enter the student’s first name, last name, and date of birth.
3. If a match is found, you'll be prompted to verify the connection. Select “Proceed.” 
4. The page will display the associated students’ information. If this is the student you were searching for, select “Send Code.” A message will pop up with the associated email or phone number to verify your connection. You must confirm whether or not you have access to complete the student link.

• If you do have access:
  • Select “Yes,” then enter the verification code you received
  • Select “Verify”
  • You’ll see a “Success” message confirming the student was linked
• If you do not have access:
  • Select “No”
  • Select “Or, click here to submit request to transportation department.”
  • Your district’s transportation office will review the request to confirm you are an authorized contact.
  • You will receive a notification within the app once your request has been approved or declined (typically within three business days).

How can I choose my preferred language in the app?

To select a language other than English, click on the “My Account” icon in the bottom right corner of the app and then choose your preferred language from the “Language” drop-down button.

How will I receive updates if my child’s bus is running late or if the schedule has changed?

EZ Arrival sends push notifications to your mobile device when:

• The bus enters your student’s notification zone
• The bus is delayed or rerouted

To receive alerts, make sure push notifications are enabled for the app in your phone settings.

I’m not receiving notifications. What should I do?

• Check your phone’s settings to ensure EZ Arrival is allowed to send you notifications
• Confirm you are logged in and have correctly linked your student
• If issues continue, contact your school district’s Transportation Department

Will all my students appear in the EZ A2B app?

Yes. If you have multiple students in the same district, all linked students will appear in your account. Please note that tracking information is available only if your district provides bus data for that student.

Can I update my student’s schedule or route within the app?

No. EZ Arrival displays the official schedule and route information provided by your district. Changes to your student’s transportation arrangements should be made through your school or Transportation Department.

What happens if my student’s bus or driver changes?

EZ Arrival automatically supports bus or driver substitutions. Even when a substitute is used, you will continue to receive accurate tracking updates.

Who should I contact for help with the EZ Arrival app?

If you're having trouble creating an account, linking to a student, or receiving notifications, check out our support resources by selecting the question mark on any page of the app. 

How can I provide feedback on the app?

We welcome your feedback! You may receive optional in-app surveys, but you can always contact your district to provide feedback about your experience with EZ Arrival. Your feedback helps enhance the app’s performance and the user experience for all families.

 

In order to ensure everyone's safety while traveling on district buses, we ask students to practice the following rules:

• Please be out and ready at the bus stop approximately 5 minutes prior to bus pick-up times.
• Please wait at your place of safety (15 steps from the edge of the road) until the driver signals with their hand letting the student know it is safe to enter the bus or cross the street.
• Students MUST stay seated and sitting correctly until the bus stops for their stop and they are dismissed.
• No eating or drinking on the bus.
• Please maintain classroom conduct rules while on the bus. Failure to demonstrate appropriate behaviors can result in disciplinary action. 

TCTC students will be picked up at Mineral Ridge High School at 6:55 a.m. and dropped off at 2:25 p.m. in the high school parking lot. Parents/Guardians are responsible for drop off and pick up at the high school. We will follow the TCTC schedule and transport students unless Weathersfield School District calls a calamity day (i.e. snow day) - in this instance, students will not be transported.

Students who attend a TCESC unit in another district will be transported on their school's schedule. Students WILL NOT BE transported on Weathersfield calamity days (i.e. snow days).
