New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency

private student transportation services Austin, TX

With 25,000+ students traveling across a network of distinct commutes, school transportation can get complicated fast in a community as large and diverse as West Valley City.

EverDriven provides Alternative School Transportation, built to close those gaps and support students with additional needs, from door-to-door routes for students with disabilities to flexible service for students experiencing housing instability. By connecting districts with a nationwide network of background-checked drivers, EverDriven arranges individualized and small-group rides on routes that standard buses aren’t equipped to run.

I like the ease of ordering a ride through EverDriven. It is easy to schedule and modify the ride as needed and clear, easy-to-follow instructions.

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.
