The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) is going to implement RFID technology for the safety and security of the students. The School district has prepared itself to introduce RFID-enabled ID cards called BusPass. BusPass combines both RFID and GPS. The combo will take the students when they are boarding the school bus and getting off.



The School District feels that the RFID technology will ensure safety and security to some 60,000 students of 120 schools. By adopting the latest RFID technology, the District will alarm the parents of the children by informing them 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.
