EverDriven Technologies, the leader in technology-enabled student transportation, Oregon, Maine, South Dakota and Delaware bringing the number of states they operate in to 32. This expansion reinforces EverDriven’s position as the largest and most trusted Alternative Student Transportation provider in the country with 2,000,000 trips completed and 28,000 unique students driven last year.
“Alternative Student Transportation is not just about safely getting students from point A to point B. It’s about ensuring all students, no matter their circumstances, have equal access to education,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “As demand for our service increases, it is essential that we continue to expand to meet the needs of districts, families, and students they serve.”
EverDriven has been selected by districts in these 4 new states to provide reliable and safe transportation for a number of students including McKinney-Vento (MKV) students, students experiencing housing insecurity, and students with disabilities. In the last three years, EverDriven has seen a 51% increase in trip requests for students experiencing housing insecurity, a number that, unfortunately, they predict will continue to increase.
Megan Carey, Chief Development Officer of EverDriven said “Our service enables students, who may have previously contributed to the chronic absenteeism issue many districts are facing, to consistently get to school, ultimately reducing their chances of getting behind, feeling discouraged and eventually dropping out. All kiddos deserve an education, and we are proud to be part of providing them access.”
