Services

The OllyCard app, in conjunction with each child’s Student Travel Pass, when used as intended, allows you to track your child’s travel while on their school bus. It provides a selection of push notifications to your internet connected smartphone or tablet in real time. You can choose any or all of the following push notifications:

  1. When and where your child boards the bus in the morning,
  2. When the bus arrives at his/her school,
  3. When and where your child boards the bus in the afternoon, and
  4. When and where your child disembarks from the bus in the afternoon.

If you select any of the above push notifications you will automatically receive Service Alerts as provided by the Bus Operator.

Set-Up Process

Your school Bus Operator will send you an email inviting you to use the OllyCard app; this is provided the Bus Operator uses the Student Management System provided by Accreditation Manager with the Student Travel Pass option. The invitation email will be sent to the address provided in official records. It will include an activation code. To setup tracking for your child you will need to enter the following information into the OllyCard app:

  1. The child’s family name, and
  2. The activation code provided in the invitation email.

You must keep your activation code confidential to all parties except those you wish to track your child. If you suspect your OllyCard security has been compromised in any way, you must contact the Bus Operator at the earliest opportunity and request a new activation code. A new activation code will terminate all existing access to the OllyCard app. If you have urgent concerns about your child’s safety you should notify the police immediately.

Using the OllyCard App

The OllyCard app must only be used as intended. Accreditation Manager reserves the right to exclude any user without notice or reason.

The Customer is responsible for his/her logon security and internet connection necessary to access the OllyCard System.
