TUSD plans to introduce RFID BusPass
The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) has prepared a model for the implementation of RFID technology. It will very soon come up with RFID-enabled ID cards for the students. For which, it is testing a system called BusPass which combines RFID and GPS. The combo will track the students when they are boarding the school bus and getting off.
For the safety and security of some 60,000 students of 120 schools, the district has decided to install RFID technology. By using this latest technology, the district would inform the parents about the arrival of school bus via text phone messages or e-mail alerts. It will also tell them whether their child has missed the bus.
