New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency

Contact Us

As one of Florida’s fastest-growing cities and a global tourism destination, Orlando presents both exciting opportunities and logistical challenges for student transportation. EverDriven partners with local school districts that are a part of the Orange County Public Schools, and many others to provide supplemental, Alternative Student Transportation that adapts to the unique needs of Orlando’s students and families.

From navigating high-traffic zones to helping students travel across county lines for school-of-choice programs, we make sure students arrive safely, reliably, and ready to learn—every single day.

We live in Orlando, Florida and when we lost our car due to job loss, my daughter’s school reached out to EverDriven. Within two weeks, she had transportation to and from school. We are beyond grateful to the school and you wonderful people for your awesome services. I can affirmatively say that your services are next level – top notch. It’s safe and the driver is kind and professional. I want to make it clear that you rock and thank you for giving us hope.

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.
