Safety is Our #1 Priority

Map

“In transit” should never mean “invisible.” The HopSkipDrive Safe Ride Support system provides unparalleled end-to-end visibility into student trips for transportation staff and parents, and uses technology to detect unsafe driving behaviors like smartphone distraction.

We’re Flexible, Reliable and Cost-Effective

A dynamic, flexible network of highly qualified drivers means that you will always fill rides, even on eight hours notice.

Driver supply increases and decreases with your needs; you’ll never pay for unfilled rides or a vehicle that sits empty.

Our technology and dynamic driver supply makes it easy to build out new routes or edit existing ones.

And you’ll never have to scramble to find drivers last minute… our rides are always guaranteed.

HopSkipDrive has been a huge asset to my CASA kid. She feels confident arriving at school in a car instead of a group home van. Her CareDrivers all respect her privacy and even sign her in and out of her school and group home. HopSkipDrive has off-the-charts customer service. – Shelley B. Court Appointed Special Advocate

HopSkipDrive has been a necessary and invaluable school transportation partner to Denver Public Schools. Bus driver shortages have been challenging to our transportation department, but HopSkipDrive's introduction of a flexible, driver supply and easy-to-use technology helped us free up assets and optimized our transportation. – Albert Samora Executive Director of Transportation
