School transportation can get complicated, especially across a city the size of Lafayette, serving 30,000+ students spread across 44+ schools.
Through Alternative Student Transportation, EverDriven helps Lafayette-area districts close transportation gaps, stay compliant, and keep every student connected to their classroom, all while lifting the operational load off internal teams.
Not every student fits a traditional bus route. Students with IEPs, those experiencing homelessness under McKinney-Vento, youth in foster care, and students attending out-of-district or specialized programs often need rides that big yellow buses can’t provide efficiently. EverDriven fills those gaps with smaller vehicles, vetted and trained drivers, and real-time trip tracking, so districts can meet their legal obligations while students get safe, reliable rides.
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.
EverDriven partners with Lafayette-area districts to close transportation gaps with consistent, compliant ride services and clear communication at every step.

The result is a transportation model built around consistency, compliance, and trust, helping students arrive ready to learn, and helping caregivers and families stay confident along the way.
