I used EverDriven as a special education teacher for over three years and was consistently impressed with their service. The communication and app tracking made it easy to know exactly when students were being picked up and dropped off at both home and school. EverDriven also provided essential tools like safety harnesses and other accommodations that supported students with disabilities and made their rides smoother and safer. Whenever I needed help, Overall, I highly recommend EverDriven for transportation services through DPS their reliability, communication, and commitment to student safety truly stand out!
