New National Research on the Impact of Transportation Consistency
Trusted Alternative Student Transportation
Families, drivers, and school districts count on EverDriven to deliver safe, reliable Alternative Student Transportation every day. Here’s what they’re saying about the care, punctuality, and peace of mind we provide on every trip.
Unbeknownst to the drivers, they become an extension of our staff through interactions with our kids. They’re an extra set of eyes and ears for the craziness that happens in a high school.
Transportation Coordinator
I appreciate the stability of having the same driving crew. I think most (maybe all) are great at greeting our kids with smiles every day before and after school as well as being cheerleaders for them as they finish classes.
Transportation Coordinator
This program is amazing! My son’s driver helped open my very shy son up and feel comfortable.
Parent

As a parent, it is always scary trusting someone to get your child from point A to point B … I was skeptical at first, but my son’s driver has been amazing! My son loves him as do we!
Parent

I like this company because it’s a good support for my family.
Parent
Important aspects of a partnership include… making sure that communication is clear, making sure that transparency is there, making sure that both sides of the partnership discuss their needs, discuss what restrictions they may have. We both have the same goal of caring for the child.
Transportation Director

Overall great provider/resource for our team! They are professional, responsive, and help us accommodate our most challenging needs.
Transportation Supervisor
Providing safe and reliable school transportation takes teamwork, and EverDriven has been an essential partner in helping us maintain seamless operations. I’ve had the pleasure of working with many members of the EverDriven Kansas City team, and their professionalism and dedication continue to impress me. Kelsey, in particular, has been an invaluable resource always responsive, patient, and proactive in resolving challenges. Her support has played a key role in our growth and success in Lincoln, Nebraska. We are deeply grateful for EverDriven’s continued partnership and look forward to building on this collaboration to better serve students and their families.
Partnering with EverDriven has enabled us to remove another barrier that girls face. It allows us to reach girls who might have missed out because their parents are busy on the weekends. It also helped us get girls out to camp—some of them for the first time!
Program Manager
Transportation is the bridge to opportunity. By diversifying our transportation options with trusted partners like EverDriven, we can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that every student, regardless of their situation, has a safe way to get to and from school each and every day.
Director of Transportation
For two days, this child had no way to get to school. EverDriven stepped in immediately. They were on time, they were safe, and they made sure the student was taken care of. That speaks for itself.
Special Education Coordinator
The scalability has been huge. We went from six vehicle routes to 24, and EverDriven handled that growth seamlessly.
Dr. Courtney Flournoy
Having worked with EverDriven at this point, the differences are clear. It’s the flexibility, the responsiveness, the professionalism—and the consistency.
Special Education Director
What really sold me was the customer service. Anytime we had to coordinate with parents or different agencies, EverDriven made it easy.
Special Education Director
For a program like ours, where girls are coming from all over the city to different meeting spots, EverDriven is the perfect solution,
Project Manager
EVERDRIVEN TEAM: Thank you for all you did this year to transport our students to/from their school of origin. Tomorrow is the last day for Covington Independent Public Schools’ students, and we couldn’t have done it without your assistance and support. Joel, thank you again for making things happen seamlessly this year, it was a relatively easy year with very little hiccups. Our State Coordinator said that KY has the highest graduation rate for homeless students in the country. He added that keeping kids in school of origin is the reason this has put us at a higher rate than other districts in the US. This wasn’t something we could do without folks like you helping us get these little lovelies to school every day. Have a great summer and looking forward to working with you again in August/September!
McKinney-Vento Coordinator and Foster Care POC (point of contact)
The EverDriven model is so centered around children. It’s not an Uber service. It’s not merely a taxi. Relationships are always being built with parents, and they have excellent communication with schools.
General Manager of Transportation
The biggest blessing has been the online portal. It makes it really easy for me to pull reports. From a parenting perspective, having EverDriven’s VIP app also allows families to cancel easily rather than require I do it.
Director of Special Services
The largest cost savings for us is not paying per kid but per trip. We can have two or three kids on a trip with close pickup locations, and they’re going to similar places. The kids still get the same service—and a short trip—while still maintaining cost-effectiveness for us.
Director of Special Services
EverDriven helps us fulfill our responsibility to the state and our students. It’s not just about compliance. It’s about making sure every student has a fair chance to show what they’re learning.
Supervisor of State Testing
I believe in growing our internal workforce. But I also recognize the need for supplemental services. EverDriven helps us serve students in the best way possible. I’m super happy with the service and will continue to advocate for EverDriven to other people.
Director of Transportation
EverDriven has become a trusted partner in helping us deliver on our promise to families. Their consistent, safe, and student-centered service helps us meet the diverse needs of our students—particularly those experiencing housing instability or requiring specialized support. The visibility and reliability they bring to our transportation program gives us confidence that every student can access the education they deserve.
Executive Director of Student Transportation Services
What I appreciate about our EverDriven drivers is that they take relationship building to heart and they take it really, really seriously. In the videos that I’ve seen of rides from our EverDriven drivers, they’ve done a great job connecting with our students and helping prepare them for their day.
Transportation Director
My favorite part of student transportation is meeting the needs of students with special needs, and I feel that EverDriven does a great job working with me in doing that. I’ve found that the EverDriven drivers are amazing in meeting student special needs. They are invested in learning how to provide students what they need to be successful — offering the proper safety equipment that’s outlined in the IEP and supporting with the right tools.
Transportation Director
That’s when getting an EverDriven car to help supplement and pick up a few of those stops just makes sense… EverDriven can come in as a partner and help service those students and get them to the schools where they feel loved, where their needs are being met. It’s just a really great thing to have a driver care about them and make sure that happens.
Transportation Director
EverDriven really meets our needs for students who live outside of the school boundaries. They meet the needs for all of our kids — from a pre-K student who may be homeless and just needs a ride back to their school, all the way through our transitioning students who are 18, 19, 21 and doing job training in the community. EverDriven meets the needs for all of our kids.
Transportation Director
This is great service and great professional staff, helping kids to pursuit of education that’s a good cause, thank you and God bless you all.
Everdriven’s routing specialists and field operations team are always accessible and responsive. We truly appreciate the support that allows our drivers to make student transportation safe and reliable.
EverDriven is an excellent student transportation company that truly prioritizes safe and reliable service. They support students with special needs, disabilities, those in foster care, or experiencing housing transitions, making this work feel deeply personal and meaningful. Working with these amazing kids is both a privilege and a blessing. The use of smaller, personalized vehicles makes a big difference in providing safe, consistent, and comfortable rides. Our Account Manager is always available, professional, kind, and ready to help. Her leadership, compassion, and problem-solving skills make her an incredible asset to the team, and it’s a joy to work with her. I’m truly grateful to be part of the beautiful mission this company represents. EverDriven is a great company with great people behind it—100% recommended.

EverDriven is consistent and accommodating for all the students we serve! We highly recommend!
I used EverDriven as a special education teacher for over three years and was consistently impressed with their service. The communication and app tracking made it easy to know exactly when students were being picked up and dropped off at both home and school. EverDriven also provided essential tools like safety harnesses and other accommodations that supported students with disabilities and made their rides smoother and safer. Whenever I needed help, Overall, I highly recommend EverDriven for transportation services through DPS their reliability, communication, and commitment to student safety truly stand out!
Special Education Teacher
We have used EverDriven to transport our out of district students. They have always been able to accommodate our needs
When Hurricane Helen hit, our McKinney-Vento population jumped from 250 to 2,200 families. I called (a team member) at Everdriven and said, ‘Can you help me?’ And within 24 hours, you had 180 of my students picked up and delivered to where they needed to be. That’s partnership.
Transportation Director
When your group worked with our students who were devastated by Hurricane Helen, families who had so much to worry about didn’t have to worry once we established patterns with Everdriven. They had a trusted and reliable communication conduit.
Transportation Director
What I saw in our relationship (with EverDriven) as we evolved in the last year is that it was done 100% correct, in a timely fashion, very transparent… and I had high trust in Everdriven. Because I had high trust in Everdriven, I was able to promote high trust with the students receiving these services.
Transportation Director
Transportation for my daughter has been amazing and really helpful on days when I was unable to get her to the workshops myself.
This program is amazing! My son’s driver Carlos Gomez helped open my very shy son up and feel comfortable.
Parent
As we are approaching the final weeks of school, I wanted to take this time to express my gratitude for all your hard work this past year. It’s has been amazingly smooth and just GREAT! We have had some minor hiccups, but nothing that wasn’t resolved in a timely manner. I also want to send a shout out for the quick turnaround today on two seniors who are unaccompanied and needing to finish their final semester with us. Your team was able to get then routed and ready to start on Monday, May 5th. Yay! This will allow them the ability to graduate and finish up strong with their peers. You ARE APPRECIATED more than you know.
We have a parent with a special needs student that loves the app. She just sings praises because she knows where the vehicle is. She can see where her student is. She knows when her student gets home. It’s perfect for her – especailly the reliability of it.
Supervisor of Transportation
I’m extremely satisfied with EverDriven. I plan on utilizing you more and more. It all comes down to the service you provide. I don’t have to worry whether the vehicle is going to show up or not. You guys keep gaining traction with me.
Supervisor of Transportation
It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about specialized student transportation. I know now I can keep you guys in my back pocket. You’re always there. As we give you more and more students, the more and more trust you gain. You will be gaining more and more of my work.
Supervisor of Transportation
EverDriven provides reliable transportation options for many students. Their service is very responsive and has the ability to pivot quickly and adjust to our needs. Drivers are well trained and Wichita Public Schools is lucky to have them as a partner!
What truly defines their (EverDriven’s) excellence is the dedication and care of their local account managers, who prioritize safety and put students’ needs at the forefront of their efforts. While advanced technology plays an important role, it is EverDriven’s professional account managers who truly make the difference. It is an honor to collaborate with Team EverDriven in supporting students from diverse backgrounds throughout the Kansas City community. We deeply value this meaningful partnership and eagerly look forward to continuing our important work together.

Assistant Principal
EverDriven took the guesswork out of SB88 compliance. Their expert team ensures drivers, vehicles, and reporting are fully aligned with the new regulations. Honestly, their practices have long been the safest in the business. Long before any legislative requirements Everdriven has had a longstanding reputation of providing safe, student-centered alternative transportation. Their proactive approach gave us confidence that we were fully compliant—long before the deadline.

The EverDriven team works magic for routes and day to day changes to keep students coming to school and systems running efficiently for the students and their families!
EverDriven has been very easy to work with and is always willing to do whatever they can to problem solve if an issue arises. I have been provided with good customer service every time I need assistance. I definitely recommend working with them.

They’ve truly made a positive impact, and it shows in the quality of their service.
The two most hectic times of day at a school are always pick-up and drop-off. Knowing exactly which child is being dropped off or picked up, and the arrival status of their driver, is a game changer. EverDriven VIP has been great in helping us keep the pick-up and drop-off lines moving.
EverDriven improves access to educational opportunities, leading to better academic performance and engagement with fewer disruptions and absenteeism of our most vulnerable student populations.
