New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency
Tuscaloosa is home to a dynamic and growing public school community, serving 10,000+ students across 18 campuses, while Tuscaloosa County School System extends educational access to an additional 18,000+ students across rural townships, suburban neighborhoods, and communities surrounding the University of Alabama corridor.
EverDriven’s Alternative School Transportation provides safe, consistent, and accountable service where standard routing falls short. Through a nationwide network of background-checked drivers, EverDriven arranges individualized and small-group rides for students with McKinney-Vento, IEP, or other specialized transportation needs — reaching students across both dense campuses and rural routes alike.
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.
