Security

Security you can operate on

Student Transport Optimizer is designed for the sensitive operational context of student transportation, with layered controls at every level of the platform.

Secure user authentication

Every user session starts with verified authentication designed for transportation operations.

Role and permission based access

Fine-grained roles and permissions ensure users only see what they are authorized to see.

OTP verification

One-time passcodes protect logins and sensitive account actions across the platform.

Device pairing for driver app

Driver devices are paired to authorized drivers to prevent unauthorized access.

Tenant data separation

Each transportation provider and school district operates in its own isolated tenant.

Authorized parent and student linking

Parent access is granted only through authorized linkage to approved student records.

Transactional messages only

SMS is used for verification, security notifications, and service-related account messages.

No marketing SMS messages

We do not send marketing or promotional SMS messages through this campaign.

Messaging policy

Student Transport Optimizer sends transactional SMS messages only, such as one-time passcodes, verification codes, account security notifications, registration codes, and service-related account messages. We do not send marketing or promotional SMS messages through this campaign. SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

How SMS consent is collected

SMS messages are sent only to drivers and parents/guardians who opt in. During registration in the Student Transport Optimizer driver and parent mobile apps, each user enters their mobile number and provides express consent by selecting a consent checkbox — not pre-selected — agreeing to receive transactional SMS messages such as one-time passcodes, verification codes, and account security notifications. Consent is not a condition of service, and the registration screen links to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. Users can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for assistance. Message frequency varies based on account activity, and message and data rates may apply.
