EverDriven recently announced its network has grown in Texas to support more than 14,446 students. Over the past 13 years in Texas, EverDriven has completed 860,286 trips and driven over 12.5 million miles.
With 102 school district partnerships across Texas, the majority of students EverDriven transports are among the state's most vulnerable — 86% experiencing housing instability under the McKinney-Vento Act and 9% requiring special education support. According to a company release, EverDriven is expanding 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.
"EverDriven has become a trusted partner in helping us deliver on our promise to families," said Jazmin Harrison, Ph.D., executive director of student transportation services at Dallas Independent School District. "Their consistent, safe, and student-centered service helps us meet the diverse needs of our students — particularly those experiencing housing instability or requiring specialized support. The visibility and reliability they bring to our transportation program gives us confidence that every student can access the education they deserve."
EverDriven Completes 100,000+ Trips for Texas Students
EverDriven's service in Texas has grown rapidly. Last school year alone, the company transported 2,299 students, completed 100,749 trips, and drove nearly 2 million miles across the state.
"Texas is leading the way in adopting modern approaches to student transportation," said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. "From large districts like Dallas and Houston to smaller, rural communities, we're proud to work alongside schools across the state to deliver safe solutions families can count on. With our human-led, tech-enabled approach, we're helping districts provide every student with a consistent and reliable ride that supports their ability to learn."
EverDriven is also equipping schools with its 360-Degree Student Experience, giving districts, caregivers, and administrators full visibility of every ride. By combining flexible routing, rigorous safety protocols, and real-time visibility, Texas districts see a 99.99% safety record and 100% compliance in driver and vehicle safety checks.
As Texas's student population grows and mobility needs become more complex, EverDriven plans to expand service to additional districts.
