Hoover City Schools Turns to Transfinder
Located in Birmingham, Alabama, metropolitan area, Hoover City Schools has about 13,567 students attending 18 schools. According to a company release, the district selected Transfinder after a nine-month search.

“As a school system, we took nine months to evaluate several different options in school transportation,” said Dr. Brad Hayn, Hoover City’s director of transportation. “We supplied each company we met with a list of needs and wants when it came to a transportation partner for Hoover City Schools. Transfinder checked every box for us, and we are excited about what the future holds as we move forward as a partner with Transfinder.”
Dr. Hayn said the Transfinder and Hoover City teams have quickly built a relationship.
“Every step of the way, it has been about more than just being a customer,” he said. “Every person we have met and worked with from Transfinder has treated us as family, and they truly care about the success of Hoover City Schools.
