More time supporting students. **Introducing CareEngine** When one platform keeps everyone in sync, families have peace of mind, and you can focus on what matters — your students. [CareEngine Hero Video 9.14](https://videos.ctfassets.net/gqa3p93n5wse/1AfFqJPPg1SEG6KGJiJFYd/de0182ac151b14fbef6c4116f89ec973/CareEngine_Hero_Banner_0914.mp4) - [Link text for 7tGdFr46nq7h6h5281uGJN](/quote/) - [Link text for 2gW6WFOHt3ZmvPPVOH6m28](#stories) Seeing a vehicle on a map isn’t the same as everyone being in the loop. Care-centered transportation requires the right information to reach the right person at the right moment. A disconnected ride in traditional school transportation: the district works from spreadsheets and phone calls, the school and rider have no visibility, and the family and subcontracted driver rely on basic tracking apps — the connections between them are broken. A connected ride powered by CareEngine: the district (RideIQ), school (Daily Queue), family (Caregiver app), rider (Track My Ride), CareDriver, and Safe Ride Support 24/7 human monitoring all connect to one live ride record — one permissioned system. ## More confidence for everyone who depends on the ride - [Link text for 7tGdFr46nq7h6h5281uGJN](/quote/) ### Seamless coordination, always in-sync When a pickup time, address, rider instruction or any other information changes, CareEngine automatically gets the right information to everyone who needs it. ### Proactive, human-centered safety Our Safe Ride Support team and technology monitor every ride before, during, and after it happens, using telematics, GPS and built-in proprietary safety alerts to detect anything unusual so our team can respond in real time. ### Individualized care at scale CareEngine captures each student’s specific needs and shares them with the CareDriver every ride — creating a consistent experience, even when the CareDriver changes. ### Speed when it matters most Because CareEngine coordinates and connects everyone involved in a ride, we can offer turnaround times that ensure a student never misses school due to transportation access. ### A system that improves with every ride Every ride adds useful information: how long a pickup actually takes, where delays keep repeating, and which instructions reduce confusion. Our team uses those insights to improve coordination and make future rides smoother and more reliable. ## Every ride, from every point of view **Stories in action** ### Transportation Leader, Michigan Service and visibility is ahead of the rest. ### Community Manager, Missouri Ease of use and communication. Also the driver's direct communication with the riders and their parents is a great feature. ### Charter School, Missouri Best service our school has utilized. Our families are very impressed with the technology. ### Caregiver I absolutely love everything about this app. ### Director of Transportation, Colorado Daily Queue saves me valuable time and allows me to focus on ride management. With onsite staff seeing real-time ride data, they can efficiently track rides heading to their school and coordinate directly with CareDrivers. ### CareDriver, Michigan My students continually express how much they appreciate my services as a CareDriver. It is very gratifying to help make a difference in their lives and see the comfortability their parents have with me as their children's CareDriver. ### Caregiver My son bonded with several of his drivers, one... really helped him in almost a therapeutic sense. I love the app and tracking. ## HopSkipDrive CareEngine FAQs ### What is CareEngine? CareEngine is the technology platform that powers every HopSkipDrive ride. Built specifically for the complexity of school transportation, it seamlessly coordinates and connects school districts, schools, families, riders, CareDrivers and our Safe Ride Support team before, during and after every ride. ### Does everyone see the same information? No. CareEngine is permissioned by design — each participant sees the view and action their role requires, not everything. ### Is student data protected? Yes. Student information is handled in line with FERPA and shared only with permissioned participants who need it for the ride. ### How is this different from just having an app? An app shows one person their piece of a ride. CareEngine connects RideIQ, Daily Queue, the Caregiver app, Track My Ride, the CareDriver app, and Safe Ride Support to the same live ride record, so a change in one place reaches everyone who needs to know. ## See CareEngine in action. - [Link text for 7tGdFr46nq7h6h5281uGJN](/quote/)
