New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency
Erie’s Public Schools and other districts throughout Erie County serve more than 10,000 students across 16 schools, making it one of the largest districts in northwestern Pennsylvania. With a student body representing a wide range of cultural, economic, and educational backgrounds, Erie faces unique challenges in ensuring that every child has consistent access to safe and reliable student transportation.
Many Erie families live in areas without dependable public transit or face barriers such as housing instability, foster care placements, or specialized education needs. Traditional yellow bus routes often cannot fully meet these demands, creating a need for flexible, student-focused solutions.
For Erie students and families, transportation isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about creating equal opportunities for learning and success. That’s why we partner with districts in Erie to provide technology-enabled, student-centered transportation services designed to fill critical gaps and make sure no child is left behind.

If your child needs help getting to school safely and reliably, your school or district may partner with EverDriven to provide transportation.

This can include students with IEPs, students attending specialized programs, students in foster care, or students experiencing housing instability.
