What are you trying to do?
Plain-language guides for community admins, families, and drivers.
Review the full proposal before making a decision.
The package covers governance, privacy, data flows, ThirdParty services, security, AI, transportation boundaries, consent, and reusable review worksheets. It is proposal material - not an approval or launch authorization. Each organization must complete its own review and attach its official decision.

Start a Community
Create your community, choose its name and short URL, assign at least one admin, then review the launch checklist. Your BandWagon hostname is created automatically.
Review and Approval
Use the proposal and evidence package to document your organization’s own review. BandWagon does not replace your board, school, insurer, or other approval process.
Choose Features
Optional modules can be enabled or disabled by each organization. Safety, privacy, tenant isolation, audit logging, and guardian protections remain mandatory.
Custom Domain
Enter the domain you want to use. BandWagon prepares the Cloudflare custom-hostname request and tells you exactly which DNS record to add. After you add it, click Check Again and BandWagon verifies DNS and TLS before activation.
Members and Drivers
Invite members, define driver requirements, review eligible drivers, and keep administrative access limited to people who need it.
Monitoring and Status
Each community is registered for monitoring automatically. New communities stay pending until their hostname is healthy so they are not published as down during setup.
I Am A Parent Or Guardian
Create Your Household
Add yourself first, then add students or other household members you manage. Student participation stays under guardian control.
Request a Ride
Choose the event, passenger, direction, and pickup and drop-off information. Exact addresses stay private until they are needed for a confirmed ride.
Review an Offer
You choose whether to accept a driver offer. BandWagon does not dispatch drivers or guarantee transportation.
Privacy Controls
Phone and email can remain hidden while still being used for account verification and notifications. You can request access, correction, export, or deletion of your information.
I Am A Driver
Become a Driver
Enable your driver profile for the organization, provide the required organization-specific information, and wait for any required approval.
RouteAssist
Optional RouteAssist can suggest open requests that fit your route and detour limits. It never automatically accepts a ride for you.
Offer a Ride
Choose an open request, offer available seats, and confirm the plan with the parent or guardian.
Pickup Verification
When enabled or required, use the one-time pickup handshake before marking the passenger picked up.
I Need Help
Check Platform Status
If something appears unavailable, check the BandWagon public status page first.
Contact Your Organization
For membership, driver approval, event, or organization-policy questions, start with your organization administrator.
Platform Support
For account, technical, privacy, or platform issues, contact BandWagon support. Support staff may use time-limited, audited ViewAs mode to see your screen without asking for your password.
Report a Security Issue
Use the Security and Responsible Disclosure page for security, privacy, or safety vulnerabilities. Sensitive evidence should be sent through secret.harrisonward.com and only the secure reference should be included in the report.
Emergency or Safety Issue
BandWagon is not emergency dispatch. For an emergency, contact 911 or the appropriate emergency service, then follow your organization’s safety escalation process.
For Organizations Reviewing BandWagon
These are baseline answers from the BandWagon proposal and evidence package. Your organization keeps its own approval authority and should document any local conditions separately.
