RouteWise AI™ analyzes a school district’s complete transportation landscape to deliver customized routing options, scenario plans, and recommendations to meet each district’s unique goals.
Safety Is Everything
HopSkipDrive continually innovates on safety, proactively and strategically implementing new technology and processes. We believe safety is about looking to the future and being proactive, innovative, and relentless.
Proactive
We know that the best defense is a good offense. That’s why our safety features and processes are proactive, rooted in data, and powered by technology.
Innovative
We lead the industry with our cutting-edge Safe Ride Technology™, which includes the use of mobile telematics, GPS tracking, and a dedicated Safe Ride Support™ team tracking each ride. We were the first in our industry to develop features that put safety at the core before, during, after each ride and every step of the way.
Relentless
Safety is not a box to check or a milestone to reach. We believe ensuring safe rides is not a job that’s ever done. We’re constantly evaluating our safety products, policies, features, and processes, using data to drive continuous improvement.
