HopSkipDrive

““I can’t get a ride’ should never be a reason why a student misses an important opportunity.””

““Our families, staff, and community partners made this pilot a standout success,””

““Transportation was a barrier. We work with local regional transit to provide low-cost and no-cost bus passes in certain situations. However, we needed a service that was more efficient and provided a higher level of safety to give caregivers and students a better option with more peace of mind.””

“This program has been a game-changer for my transportation team. It’s truly transformed how we manage our student transportation needs.”

“My strong preference is to use HopSkipDrive because of their commitment to safety, ease of use, highly vetted Rider Assistants, and superb customer service.”

“HopSkipDrive has helped to save travel time for our students — not only those who live further away but also those who have family responsibilities. . . . Transportation is no longer a factor for missing school, allowing us to engage with more students on a weekly basis.”

“Customer support is always kind, patient, understanding and thorough. They are quick to problem-solve any issue, and do so with a smile on their face — you can’t see them but they have a positive attitude.”

“The HopSkipDrive rides have helped build community and encourage students to stay in the program and finish. The rides mainly help them get from home to school or from school to home but sometimes they go to and from their jobs or appointments, as well.”

“consistent and on time, and working the way it’s supposed to.”

“I can come in and feel confident that everyone has rides even before I sit down at my desk,”

““I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had different schools, where we have different companies driving out of the same school for whatever reason, ask us why we can’t have all of our students ride with HopSkipDrive.””

““Parents will call and compliment drivers for HopSkipDrive about their professionalism and how safe they feel with their students being in their cars. That's huge for us.””

““ It gives us great peace of mind that our students, no matter what their circumstances are, will have a CareDriver there for them, morning and afternoon. ””

““HopSkipDrive was immediately on it,” the district said. “It was wonderful for us because we need to have people familiar with special needs students and specific behaviors so they know how to respond to them.””

““ We love that CareDrivers are connected with resources on best practices in working with special needs students; for example, how to de-escalate or redirect a dysregulated student, how to provide the best experience for a student with autism, and more. ””

“We’ve had a very positive experience working with HopSkipDrive. Any time there has been a challenge, the company has been very responsive with figuring out a solution. CareDrivers go above and beyond to be flexible for the needs of our most vulnerable students.”

“The ability to schedule and change rides online with HopSkipDrive really streamlined the process. The app also allows parents/caregivers to schedule and change rides.”

““With HopSkipDrive I don’t question. I don’t want to worry about both what happened, and if I’d get an acknowledgement. I want to know: What are you doing about it?””

““The documentation is stellar: it’s professional, it has your letterhead, and every time, I feel confident it’s well-written, covers all the bases, and I can forward it. It’s polished and ready.””

““HopSkipDrive is very proactive, I’m finding things out quickly. I have never found something out that happened from the parent or the school — every time I open a report, I know I am the first to know.””

“I’ve enjoyed working with the RouteWise AI team. The model often delivers recommendations we wouldn’t come up with on our own. We’ve always combined certain elementary school runs with certain secondary runs — it’s great seeing where the model suggests something different and with more efficiency.”

“Our routing team doesn’t have the capacity to completely start from scratch and build many new routing scenarios. RouteWise AI allows us to quickly evaluate the operational impact of bus stop or other scenarios without burning out our routing team.”

““The staff appreciates the efficiency. The experience has been very smooth, and the CareDrivers’ consistency makes a huge difference. When we needed a 10-minute delay, the response was incredibly quick.””

““We’re partnering with someone who will keep them safe. With HopSkipDrive, these students are able to get the education they wouldn’t otherwise be able to get. Plus, the peace of mind that the parents have has been a big comfort.””

“For my routers to be able to evaluate and pool a new rider with the click of a button, it both saves our team time and also saves the district money.”
