EZ A2B App Now Fully Functional – Thank You for Your Support

We are pleased to share that the EZ A2B app is now fully operational and available for use by PWCS families and students. This app delivers real-time transportation updates and bus information, helping everyone stay informed and connected throughout the school day.

We appreciate your patience throughout the rollout and refinement process. A special thank you goes to the families who participated in testing and provided valuable feedback—your insights were instrumental in shaping a more reliable and user-friendly experience.

PWCS has listened to your feedback. In collaboration with the EZ A2B vendor, the Transportation Department has implemented several key improvements:

• Enhanced forgotten password recovery process
• Message alerts are now organized by student name
• Duplicate notifications have been eliminated for a cleaner, faster experience
  
  

Additional updates are planned in the coming months to further improve the accuracy and timeliness of notifications, including the ability to send personalized bus delay and schedule change alerts in real time.

For more information and support, visit the EZ A2B webpage.

Thank you for your continued support as we introduce new tools to enhance the PWCS experience.
