New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency

private student transportation services Austin, TX

Montgomery City Schools serves 20,000+ students across 55 schools in Alabama’s capital city, where transportation needs are complex and constantly changing. High rates of student mobility, foster care placements, and IEP-required routes mean the district often needs solutions beyond a fixed bus schedule.

EverDriven’s Alternative School Transportation is designed to fill the gaps left by standard routing systems, helping the district move students safely, consistently, and in compliance with state and federal requirements. By tapping into a nationwide network of vetted drivers, EverDriven can arrange individualized or small-group rides on short notice — without requiring Montgomery City Schools to hire or manage additional staff.

Drivers are always on time. They really care about our students by learning and satisfying their needs. They are in constant communication. They’ve been a blessing to the Freedom Middle School family!
