Setting the bar above and beyond for safe youth transportation solutions
Safety is so much more than
checking a box for compliance.
Safety means going above and beyond the current ‘norms’ to set a much, much higher bar for ourselves and the industry as a whole.
Proactive
We know that the best defense is a good offense.
That’s why our safety features and processes are proactive, not a reaction to issues that come up.
15-point CareDriver Certification Process
Criteria, including 5+ years of caregiving experience, fingerprint-based background checks and Child Abuse and Neglect Scans*, surpasses industry norms. CareDrivers are truly caregivers on wheels.
Criteria to stay
on the platform

Surpassing regulatory requirements
From commercial insurance to multi-factor authentication, HopSkipDrive consistently surpasses state TNC requirements.
HopSkipDrive was
found to be 71.9% safer when compared against all Global TNCs.
CareDrivers were

global drivers.
HopSkipDrive’s collision rate per mile driven was 140X lower than the national average.
Innovative
Telematics Technology designed to maximize safe driving
An industry leading third-party app records events of the six riskiest driving behaviors, including device use while driving, hard braking, hard acceleration, hard turning, etc.
We can actually see the data on driving behavior and enable iterative improvement. CareDrivers receive information about their own driving patterns from the week before, along with resources on safe driving.
