New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency
Portsmouth may be a compact city, but its school transportation needs are far from simple. The Portsmouth School District serves 2,000+ students across various schools, from early childhood programs through Portsmouth High School, and also serves students from neighboring towns.
EverDriven’s Alternative School Transportation helps close student transportation gaps. We work alongside Portsmouth-area districts to get students where they need to be safely, consistently, and with far less coordination falling on district staff.
If your child needs help getting to school safely and reliably, your school or district may partner with EverDriven to provide transportation. EverDriven supports students whose needs fall outside traditional bus routes. This can include students with IEPs, students attending specialized programs, students in foster care, or students experiencing housing instability.
If you believe your child may need transportation support, the first step is to speak with your school or district transportation team.
