Flexible, Reliable, Cost-Effective and Safe
We are taking a different approach to arranging safe, reliable transportation that meets needs that aren’t being addressed by the current system.
Small vehicles and dynamic driver availability allow districts to support individual student needs, providing a safe and reliable transportation option for students whose needs cannot be met with traditional school buses and fixed routes.
Our easy-to-use platform makes it easy to build out new routes or edit existing ones. We ensure that you will always fill rides, with just six hours’ notice, crucial for highly mobile populations.
You’ll never have to scramble to find drivers last minute. You can rely on us, since school rides are always guaranteed.
Safety is our #1 priority. From a 15-point CareDriver certification process to our Safe Ride Support System, our safety standards are among the most stringent in the industry.
Driver supply increases and decreases with your needs. You’ll never pay for unfilled rides or a vehicle that sits empty.
Join more than 600 districts and counties we support through safe, guaranteed, affordable student transportation.
In Their Words
Not only does HopSkipDrive help reduce the district’s overall transportation costs, but offering this service to students with specialized transportation needs shortens commute times–meaning less time in transit and more time learning.– Leigh Cook Director of Federal Programs and Academic Compliance, Klein ISD
When we started using HopSkipDrive, you provided the easiest McKinney-Vento process compared to any other school year– Dr. Kayne Smith Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District
We’ve had a very positive experience working with HopSkipDrive. Any time there has been a challenge, the company has been very responsive with figuring out a solution. CareDrivers go above and beyond to be flexible for the needs of our most vulnerable students.– Elise Greenaway Pleasanton Unified School District
