EverDriven recently announced a jump in momentum for fiscal year 2025, marked by a 94% year-over-year increase in new business growth.

According to a company release, a notable area of impact for this shift is the charter school sector, where enrollment "continues to climb." Approximately 84% of states experienced charter school enrollment growth that exceeded the growth of their school-aged populations.

EverDriven is witnessing this shift firsthand, with charter school partnerships increasing by 31% from FY24 to FY25 and by 173% over the past two years.

"Districts are facing a perfect storm of challenges," said EverDriven CEO Mitch Bowling. "From rising numbers of students experiencing housing instability or with special education requirements, to rapid charter school growth and new state regulations — schools are rethinking how they ensure every student's transportation needs are met."

EverDriven Now in Over 800 School Districts

According to the company's Future of Modern Student Transportation and Safety Report, EverDriven safely transported more than 31,000 students over 33 million miles last year, achieving a 99.99% safety record.

Since its inception, the company has completed over 12 million trips spanning 180 million miles with 100% compliance with state and federal safety standards. In addition, more than 70% of students with disabilities are paired with the same driver throughout the school year — a model that builds trust, consistency, and stability.

That same focus on safety guided EverDriven's early response to California's Senate Bill 88 (SB88). Rather than waiting for the July 2025 deadline, the company completed all necessary compliance work six months in advance. The systems developed to meet SB88 weren't confined to California, as they've been integrated across EverDriven's national operations.

"EverDriven took the guesswork out of SB88 compliance," said Carlos Chicas, executive director, maintenance, operations, transportation, Capistrano Unified School District. "Long before any legislative requirements, EverDriven has had a longstanding reputation for providing safe, student-centered alternative transportation. Their proactive approach gave us confidence that we were fully compliant — long before the deadline."

EverDriven now supports more than 800 school districts across 36 states, transporting 32,641 students to and from school. As demand continues to rise, the company is focused on scaling its impact.
