This August, EverDriven is proud to bring its nationwide Arrive Ready back-to-school donation campaign to Aurora Public Schools, providing backpacks, school supplies, and hygiene products to local students experiencing housing instability. Learn more about the Arrive Ready campaign here.

Aurora is home to one of Colorado’s largest and most diverse student populations. Aurora Public Schools serves more than 38,000 students, with additional Aurora-area schools operated by Cherry Creek School District, bringing the total student population even higher across the region.

Getting students to school in a city this large and complex isn’t always solved by a single bus route. Housing transitions, school choice, and individual student needs often require more flexible transportation. EverDriven partners with Aurora-area districts to provide safe, reliable Alternative School Transportation that helps students arrive consistently and ready to learn—without adding strain to district teams.

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!

Caregivers: How EverDriven Works with Your School or District

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.

Alternative School
Transportation in Aurora

In a city as large and diverse as Aurora, no two students’ transportation needs look exactly the same. EverDriven works alongside districts to support students whose situations don’t fit neatly into traditional routes—providing consistent, dependable transportation with care and attention to each student’s circumstances.

Transportation for Students With Special Needs

Some students require transportation that goes beyond standard routing. EverDriven helps districts support students with additional needs by offering:
  • Thoughtfully planned rides aligned with IEP or 504 transportation requirements
  • Door-to-door or individualized routing that supports comfort and routine
  • Ongoing coordination with families, caregivers, and district teams

Transportation for Students Experiencing Homelessness

  • Transportation to a student’s school of origin when stability matters most
  • Flexible routing that adapts as living situations evolve
  • Clear, consistent communication with families and district staff
