private student transportation services Austin, TX

NOLA Public Schools serves 50,000+ students across 68 independently operated public charter schools, from Uptown and Mid-City to New Orleans East and Algiers. Because families choose schools through a single, citywide enrollment application rather than by home address, daily commuting can get complicated.

EverDriven provides Alternative School Transportation to help New Orleans-area districts get every student to class safely, on time, and with minimal disruption, no matter which school they attend or where in the parish they call home.

EverDriven has expanded our school districts capacity to assist children struggling with homelessness and their ability to get to and from school consistently. EverDriven has made it possible to simply and easily schedule large amounts of children to be picked up and dropped off. All while accounting for the day-to-day nuance of school scheduling, constantly changing addresses, and working with other school districts. 10/10 to all EverDriven departments.

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.
