From our Safe Ride Technology to our 15-point CareDriver certification process, ensuring the safety of every child and ride always comes first. ### Caregivers on Wheels HopSkipDrive CareDrivers undergo rigorous driving and background checks to ensure children will be safe in their back seats. They are parents, grandparents, babysitters, former teachers, and more who each have caregiving experience with children. ### Real-Time Ride Tracking Our Safe Ride Technology™ tracks every ride in real time, giving you, your school staff, and parents or caregivers the same end-to-end visibility — eliminating the daily “Where’s the ride?” calls to your office. ### Proactive and Open Communication Parents receive ride status notifications before, during, and after each ride, and can easily contact CareDrivers or our Safe Ride Support™ team at any point. ### Easy Ride Scheduling Need to get your kids to school, camp, or after-school activities? Easily schedule rides whenever you need them. Book one-time trips up to eight hours in advance, or set up recurring rides for those regular weekly commitments. ### A Better School Commute Experience Families whose children ride with HopSkipDrive CareDrivers report higher satisfaction with their child’s transportation, shorter commutes, and fewer missed school days and activities.* *HopSkipDrive caregiver surveys, September 2024. ## How HopSkipDrive Works - [Link text for 6jFMQufRHgIxD5gCzjGZFF](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hopskipdrive/id950823144) - [Link text for 3TX0eYuSrBwj6D2VZjaHaZ](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hopskipdrive.hsd_android_v2&hl=en_US) ### View rides.
