The rollout is already underway, with new features launching in August, including:

  • Real-time vehicle tracking

  • Historical trip analysis for smarter routing

  • Automated driver assignment capabilities

According to a company statement, these advancements mark the first step in EverDriven’s broader strategy to set new standards for safety, efficiency, and transparency in student transportation.
