HopSkipDrive

“With HopSkipDrive, there’s a real peace of mind for parents since they can see exactly where the ride is at any time. The security and peace help, given that they are going through some chaos/uncertainty in their lives.”

“HopSkipDrive delivers so much more value and is worth it in terms of safety and 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 brings peace of mind to the parents, the scholars, and us, as a district.”

“The communication with HopSkipDrive is great. We’re always taken care of. We appreciate the ease of booking rides on your platform and doing business with your company.”

“HopSkipDrive has improved things for Duncanville ISD and our scholars. You’ve made their educational day easier, creating a much more conducive learning environment.”

“Some of the best aspects of our partnership with HopSkipDrive is the flexibility. We never know which challenges are gonna be coming down the road and what we're gonna face. What has been demonstrated by HopSkipDrive is that when challenges do arise, that we have a partner with them and we're able to quickly and dynamically change our offerings and our models to make sure that we can address all the students that are here at the district.”

“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.”

““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.””

““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.””

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“With our previous vendor, we had no visibility into why we were being charged, and our students were missing out on opportunities because we couldn't adjust their rides fast enough.”
