Built for the public sector
The safe choice your district can defend.
Before a platform touches student data, it has to clear privacy, accessibility, and security review. Synovia is built for that conversation.
Student data privacy
Designed to support FERPA and COPPA, with student data held under strict access controls and used only to run transportation.
Accessibility
Built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA so every family, driver, and staff member can use it, on the devices they already have.
Enterprise-grade security
Encrypted in transit, hosted on AWS, with the security practices a district IT team expects to see in review.
Proven and backed
20+ years purpose-built for school buses, serving 400+ districts, and backed by CalAmp. Not a startup learning on your fleet.

Questions districts ask
The answers before you ask.
What's included with Synovia?
With Synsurance, everything: hardware, software, cellular connectivity, hosting, unlimited licenses, a lifetime hardware warranty, implementation, training, and ongoing support, all on one predictable monthly fee. No capital outlay and no aging hardware to budget around.
Is student data private and secure?
Yes. Synovia is designed to support FERPA and COPPA, holds student data under strict access controls, and is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility. Data is encrypted in transit and hosted on AWS. We provide a compliance pack for your IT and legal review.
How do parents get bus information?
Through the award-winning Here Comes the Bus app, used by 1.7M+ parents across 300+ districts. Families see the bus live, get approaching and arrived alerts, know the moment their child scans on, and can cancel a ride, which cuts calls to your office.
How does student ridership tracking work?
Students scan on and off the bus by barcode or RFID. Each scan is checked against the routing plan to confirm the right bus and the right stop, flags unplanned stops, prevents duplicate riders, and feeds rider-history, contact-tracing, and funding-compliance reports.
What about the hardware warranty and upgrades?
Synsurance includes a lifetime hardware warranty, so your fleet never runs on aging tablets or gateways and you never face a surprise refresh bill. Devices are managed and updated over the air.
Can we track more than buses?
Yes. Alongside your bus fleet, Synovia asset trackers cover white-fleet vehicles, mowers, generators, and other high-value equipment, all on the same platform.
How do districts purchase Synovia?
Synovia is available on national cooperative purchasing contracts, including Sourcewell and Omnia Partners, so eligible districts can buy without running a full RFP. Faster to approve, and fully compliant.
