What the Team is Saying
What We Do
We help get students to their destinations, safely and on time. Our technology connects school partners to a network of highly vetted drivers with small vehicles and wheelchair-accessible vehicles, complementing the yellow bus, filling in gaps, and enabling schools to support student transportation needs.
Our partnerships with school districts, child welfare agencies and nonprofits ensure equitable educational access for our most vulnerable populations, including youth in foster care, youth experiencing homelessness, and youth with special needs.
Why Work With Us
HopSkipDrive exists to create opportunity for all through mobility. As the leader in innovative, supplemental school transportation, we’re taking a different approach to addressing inequities in educational access that are affecting millions of kids each day. We’re paving the way for a future where every student has the chance to succeed.
