New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency

private student transportation services Austin, TX

Marietta school districts work with EverDriven to provide safe, dependable, and student-centered private transportation for Georgia students who need additional support or accessible options for their school commute.

With 12%-13% of public school students requiring special education services, and thousands of students statewide who are unhoused or in foster care, some transportation needs extend beyond what traditional buses can meet. EverDriven collaborates with Marietta districts to deliver flexible, private transportation that responds to those realities.

From the neighborhoods aound Marietta Square to schools such as Marietta High School or nearby Lassiter High School, students can benefit from an alternative transportation model designed for safety, punctuality, and consistency. EverDriven’s platform operates across Georgia and partners with public, charter, and private schools that support the Marietta community to help districts address day-to-day transportation demands.

From day one, EverDriven has done everything possible to meet our district’s needs. They are new to the area, but it did not take long for them to complete the process of hiring drivers. Their prompt response and communication are top-notch and answer all questions. They go the extra mile to make sure parents of special needs students and the students themselves are comfortable.
