Stopfinder is the all-in-one, easy to use app for viewing & sharing your student’s transportation schedule.
New this year! Chesapeake Public Schools has a new transportation routing system called Stopfinder that will be used at all schools! Stopfinder uses the global positioning system (GPS) technology already installed on our bus fleet to locate and track your child’s school bus.
What is Stopfinder?
Stopfinder is an easy to use mobile app designed to help parents and guardians stay informed about their children's school bus transportation. The Stopfinder mobile app can be downloaded to any iOS or Android-enabled device and is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Families who use Stopfinder will be able to
Follow their child’s bus schedule in real time
Know exactly when your children arrive at school or at home
Securely share your student’s schedule with caregivers
Receive push notifications related to your child’s bus schedule and any changes
Get real-time information on the location of your child’s bus by creating your own alert zones with the upgrade to GeoAlerts
Notice bus substitutions because they are clearly indicated – reducing misinformation and confusion
Track multiple buses in one account. This is helpful for families with multiple students!
Provide parents and caregivers with multilingual options in the app
Get Ready for Your Email Invitation
The Stopfinder app is secure and protected. Access to parents or guardians is only granted to those that have permission from the school transportation department. Stopfinder will email families to activate their Stopfinder account by August 27, 2025, from NOREPLY@TRANSFINDER.COM. We encourage families to activate their account when they receive the invitation from Stopfinder to ensure they get the most current bus route information!
