New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency
Las Cruces Public Schools is the second-largest school district in New Mexico, serving 20,000+ students across roughly 40 schools that stretch from the city center near New Mexico State University to the Town of Mesilla and the outlying reaches of Doña Ana County.
That scale means transportation needs often outpace what fixed routes alone can cover. EverDriven provides Alternative School Transportation, giving Las Cruces-area districts a dependable way to close those gaps and get every student to class. Through a network of background-checked drivers, EverDriven arranges individualized and small-group rides for students with McKinney-Vento, IEP, or other specialized transportation needs that standard bus routes can’t accommodate.
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.
