EverDriven Expands Alternative Student Transportation Services Across Texas

EverDriven, the nation's leader in Alternative Student Transportation, has achieved significant momentum in Texas, where its growing network now supports more than 14,446 students across the state. Over the past 13 years in Texas, EverDriven has completed 860,286 trips and driven over 12.5 million miles, establishing itself as a critical partner in ensuring students—particularly those with the greatest needs—arrive at school safe, calm, and ready to learn.

With 102 school district partnerships across Texas, EverDriven serves one of the nation's largest and most complex education systems. This school year, the majority of students the company transports are among the state's most vulnerable populations—86% experiencing housing instability under the McKinney-Vento Act and 9% requiring special education support. By delivering flexible, student-centered rides that complement traditional yellow bus service, EverDriven expands districts' ability to meet these diverse needs at scale.

Districts served include some of the largest in the nation, such as Dallas ISD, Houston ISD, and Plano ISD, as well as newly added districts this year including Waco ISD, Aledo ISD, and Red Oak ISD. Jazmin Harrison, Ph.D., Executive Director of Student Transportation Services at Dallas Independent School District, stated that EverDriven has become a trusted partner in helping deliver on promises to families through consistent, safe, and student-centered service that meets diverse student needs.

EverDriven's service in Texas has grown rapidly, with last school year alone seeing the company transport 2,299 students, complete 100,749 trips, and drive nearly 2 million miles across the state. Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven, noted that Texas is leading the way in adopting modern approaches to student transportation, from large districts like Dallas and Houston to smaller, rural communities.

Through its human-led, tech-enabled approach, EverDriven is helping Texas districts raise the bar for safety and visibility by equipping schools with its 360-Degree Student Experience, giving districts, caregivers, and administrators full visibility of every ride to strengthen safety, transparency, and accountability. The company maintains a 99.99% safety record and 100% compliance in driver and vehicle safety checks, redefining what modern student transportation means for Texas families and districts.

Looking ahead, EverDriven plans to expand service to additional districts, roll out new technology that enhances visibility, and continue raising the bar for safety. As Texas's student population grows more diverse and mobility needs more complex, EverDriven remains committed to innovating alongside districts to ensure every child can access education through safe, consistent, and modern transportation solutions.
