EverDriven is showing a peek behind the curtain and offering transparency into its operations and safety record through the company's first Safety and Operations Report.
With the largest footprint for alternative transportation, EverDriven reports that it has transported 31,806 students, completed 2,056,987 trips, and covered 33,136,956 miles between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025.
The company says it upholds safety and compliance requirements for 100% of drivers via pre-service drug testing, multi-layered background checks, motor vehicle record reviews, continued education in safety protocols, defensive driving, and sensitivity practices to support students with unique needs. Additionally, 100% of its vehicles pass annual safety inspections by a certified third party and are subject to random safety checks. Its operational standards align with 100% of applicable state-level mandates and Department of Education regulations for small-capacity vehicles.
Thanks to its local operations teams tracking inclement weather, resolving challenges in real time, and managing trips, 99.63% of scheduled trips were completed as planned. 99.60% of those trips ran smoothly, with no concerns reported by families or district administrators.
With 70.81% of trips for students with special needs supported by the same driver, EverDriven offers consistency. 90.24% of 2 million trips arrived within five minutes of the scheduled drop-off time, and 99.99% of trips were completed safely, without incidents involving passengers or vehicles.
“Over the past year, we’ve deepened our commitment to what matters most: ensuring every student reaches school safely and reliably,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “The insights captured in our Safety and Operations Report reflect a year of growth, continuous learning, and strengthened practices across every part of our operations. Families and school districts place their trust in us, and our record-setting safety performance is a direct result of the vigilance, transparency, and accountability that define EverDriven’s approach every day.”
EverDriven also reached early compliance with Senate Bill 88 in California and implemented the EverDriven Camera Solution, powered by AI, across 55 districts in 12 states.
After most recently entering Minnesota, EverDriven now operates in 34 states and works with nearly 700 school districts.
