FAQ

Will SRC Certified cards work with my current Student Ridership system?

Yes.

We manufacture Bus Badges and Student IDs that integrate seamlessly with your current process. There are no changes required on your end.

What is the difference between a Bus Badge and a Student ID?

Bus Badges are used only on the bus, while Student IDs are multi-use.

How long will it take to receive sample cards customized for our school district?

Once you share an existing card (with text, logo, etc.), or work with us to create a great card layout for your district, we will ship samples within 48 hours.

How long will it take to receive finished cards?

We offer a 4 week lead time, regardless of order size.

Your district will be billed after the cards are delivered.

Why are competitors' prices so much higher?

Until we entered the student ridership card space, there was insufficient competition. Our partner company manufactures and sells a school bus tracking (GPS) and Student Ridership solution (see spotmybus.com). We began manufacturing Bus Badges and Student ID cards for our customers to use with SpotMyBus.

Before long, we realized that others in school transportation were being charged very high prices for cards, so we began manufacturing in even larger quantities, and the economies of scale allowed for even lower pricing.

Other providers of Bus Badges and Student ID cards are resellers, not manufacturers of any equipment. We manufacture RFID cards, GPS trackers, cellular modems, along with cables, antennas, keypads, speakers, and more. As manufacturers, rather than middlemen, we have complete control over quality and incur lower costs.

How are you able to offer a lifetime replacement warranty on every card?

We manufacture the highest quality and most reliable Bus Badges and Student ID cards. They are so reliable, we are able to guarantee them for life.

It’s worth noting that we are the only company in the industry that does so.

Do you sell card/label printers?

No.

We don’t manufacture printers, so we don’t sell them. Rather than buy them from large distributors, mark up the price, and sell them to you, we are happy to put you in touch with some of the largest and most reliable printer distributors.

You save money by buying direct from a large distributor, and the distributors we recommend are only those offering superb technical support. These same distributors offer original equipment printer ribbons at the lowest available prices.
