Bensalem Township School District recently announced a new app, Rally’s “Bus Status,” which gives BTSD the tools to notify students and their families about school bus delays and cancellations. Bus updates are sent instantly to the district website at bensalemsd.busstatus.ca/ and the app on students and parents/guardians’ phones.

The Bus Status mobile app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play. Parents and students select their bus(es) in the app and receive a push notification any time one of their bus(es) is delayed or canceled.

The statuses in the app are set by the district’s transportation team. To receive bus notifications, you must enable notifications in your device settings and add your bus(es) to “My Buses” in the app:

– Go to the “My Bus” tab in the app and verify that your bus(es) has been added. If the bus has not been added to “My Buses,” go to the “All Buses” tab and tap the star next to your bus.
– Verify that notifications are enabled for the Bus Status app in your device settings.
– If you have followed the steps above and are still not receiving notifications, go to the “District” tab in the app and tap the “Reset App” button. You will then need to select your school district and add your bus(es) to “My Buses.”
– If the status of the bus is not accurate, call Bensalem Township School District Transportation at 215-750-2820.

If you recently changed devices and the app is not showing the information you expect, go to the “District” tab in the app and tap the “Reset App” button. You will then need to select “Bensalem Township School District” and add your bus(es) to “My Buses.”
