New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency
Maine’s public schools serve students across a landscape as varied as the state itself — from coastal communities and small towns to growing hubs like Portland. According to the Maine Department of Education, 170,000+ students are enrolled across 200+ districts.
Getting those students to school isn’t always straightforward. In rural counties, a single route can stretch across long highway corridors or reach island-connected communities. In southern Maine, districts navigate enrollment shifts, open enrollment patterns, and cross-boundary travel. And when winter hits, even the most reliable fixed-route systems can feel the strain.
That’s where EverDriven comes in. We partner with Maine districts to provide Alternative School Transportation for the situations traditional buses weren’t built to handle.

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.
Chronic absenteeism often increases when housing situations change. In rural parts of Maine, distance can quickly become the biggest barrier to maintaining school stability.
