UDOT Walking School Bus
Free AppAbout UDOT Walking School Bus
UDOT’s Walking School Bus app is a forward thinking tool that allows parents to create and plan walks to and from school. UDOT’s Walking School Bus app allows parents to search by elementary school for existing walking groups, create walking groups and invite neighbors to join, plan walks to and from school, assign parent leaders to walk with students, group text within the app, and greatest of all, alerts parents when students have arrived safely at school!
“Walking School Bus” is a universal term used to describe an organized group of children walking to and from school with one or more adults. It’s like a carpool — without the car — and with the added benefits of exercise and the company of friends and neighbors.
Additionally, by automatically calculating the distance of each student’s home to their school, the Walking School Bus app also tracks:
• Total number of miles walked by parents and students statewide.
• Estimated total of calories burned.
• Estimated air pollution savings.
The Walking School Bus app is sponsored by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) SNAP program. The UDOT Student Neighborhood Access Program (SNAP)™ is a fun and comprehensive program for walking and biking safely to school that engages and educates students, parents, school administrators, crossing guards and communities.

It isn't super user friendly, it crashes a lot, you can't edit many things. Very frustrating.

I got all signed up but can't schedule any walks. What is the point of setting up an account if you can't do anything with it?? Fix it and you will get 5 stars.

Can't wait for this to get more popular. It's hard to get a group going so far.

Before you advertise this on the radio, you better make sure it works. Telephones work easier and faster than this app. On a side note, we should not be placing identifying information on an app when our children's safety is concerned. One stolen or lost phone = trouble.

Can't wait to start using this app! Just a few issues, It freezes or crashing when I invite people or try to add my profile picture, and I love that you added the picture option. Can't wait to share, thanks for all the work you've put into it.

After signing in to this app and giving up your email address home phone number and home address this app will not allow you to complete any walks. Stop using or children to extract parents information with these lousy programs!! SUCH A WAIST OF TIME

I have tried uninstalling and installing several times. Every different option I can think of but when I go into the walks we have set up I am not able to complete a walk. I receive an error stating it not able to retrieve data. The whole point of the app is to notify parents of their child arrival but it doesn't work. I have also sent emailed requesting assistance to get this working but not received any response.

I can't even sign up. I get an error after I accept terms and agreements. Will uninstall and wait to see if it works next year.

Still glitchy - even with the 2016 update - and in some ways now worse. Last year the app was awful about notifications. Group notifications and messaging rarely worked, particularly the notification to parents that the walk was completed and their kids arrived at school - which is the most important feature! Buttons were glitchy or mislabled. An email into tech support five months ago was never answered. I saw an update in August and was hopeful it would address the issues but to no avail. The app has a slightly different look and a couple labels are fixed but now the "Walk Complete" button doesn't even show up as an option to click! I've given up. I'm looking for other options.
