District News & Announcements

A promotional image displays a smartphone showing a bus tracking app interface alongside text that reads 'NEW Bus Tracking App EZ Arrival Download Free Today!'.

Moving from BusQuest to EZ Arrival

After December 31, we’re switching to a new bus tracking app called EZ Arrival. This app is similar to the current BusQuest App, but you will need to download the new app to continue using the features after December 31. 

Same login, same password; just download the new app before December 31, 2026.
