WHAT IS CROSSWALK K-12?

Integrated School Transportation Platform

UniteGPS describes Crosswalk K-12 as an integrated platform for school transportation including routing, GPS tracking, student ridership, and tablet tools built for K-12 districts.

Internal Use

Student Tracking

For GESD32, the important board-facing language is student tracking, not just bus tracking. The system supports visibility into student transportation activity as part of the routing platform.

  • Improves transportation visibility
  • Supports school response to parent questions
  • Gives staff better information during bus operations
Parent Communication

Parent App Pilot

The parent communication phase is being piloted at EPS. The operational goal is to give families peace of mind through app-based visibility.

  • Current pilot: Ed Pastor School
  • Future opportunity: phased parent expansion after pilot review
  • Impact: parent confidence and fewer uncertainty calls
Routing Platform

Route Operations

Crosswalk K-12 also supports route planning, GPS visibility, student ridership, and driver/tablet workflows depending on configured modules.

  • Routing support
  • GPS-powered fleet visibility
  • Student ridership records
