Richland school’s student pick-up plan an EZ process [The Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown, Pa.]
Jan. 29 Allison Wilson, a Richland Elementary School parent, said student pick-up is faster now that the school has installed the CarRider Pro system.
She considers this new arrangement a “really smart move” by the district.
“For an outsider looking in, it’s been completely hiccup-free,” Wilson said.
The CarRider system, which cost roughly $10,000, makes use of a sensor on the road to the school, one on the building and RFID tags in parents’ vehicles. The RFID system is similar to that used by the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s EZ Pass system.
