Durham Student Transportation Services (DSTS) is excited to announce the implementation of new technology, mTransport on our large 70 passenger vehicles.
mTransport is a system designed to streamline communications between buses, the school and, parents/guardians. This system will replace the traditional paper-based manifest on buses with a tablet that will have an electronic version of student bus routes. Students will be issued a Transportation Card that the tablet software can read to register when and where they board a bus as well as when they disembark. This will help drivers better recognize riders and allow them to assist if someone attempts to board at the wrong stop or the wrong bus or get off a bus when they shouldn’t. This system will also ensure we have live and relevant data regarding bus passengers, which is critical information in the event of a bus incident or accident. For more information on the mTransport system, please visit https://www.dsts.on.ca/mtransport-info.
If you are missing your mTransport card or want to register your email address to use the mTransport mobile app, please follow this link.
