New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency
Huntsville is one of Alabama’s fastest-growing metro areas, and its schools reflect that momentum. Huntsville City Schools serves 20,000+ students across 43 schools, while the surrounding Madison County School System adds another 20,000+ students across 30 campuses.
EverDriven’s Alternative School Transportation is designed to step in and support these transportation demands where standard routing falls short.
Through a vetted network of drivers, EverDriven arranges individualized, one-on-one and small-group rides for students with McKinney-Vento, IEP, or other specialized transportation needs — filling in the gaps that growing districts can’t always staff for internally.
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.
