Case Study: Denver Public Schools balances student safety and transportation scale with EverDriven

Denver Public Schools boosts attendance and safely transports 30,000 students daily with EverDriven

Denver Public Schools (DPS), a large and complex district, faced significant transportation challenges including ensuring safe, supervised rides for students with special needs and those experiencing housing instability, complying with strict multilingual communication laws, and adapting to the autonomy of its individual schools. To address these issues, DPS partnered with the vendor EverDriven to provide its alternative transportation service as a strategic component of its overall model.

EverDriven implemented a solution using assigned and vetted drivers, with safety measures like ride tracking, in-vehicle cameras, and strict driver requirements. This provided peace of mind for families and the district by ensuring consistent handoffs and preventing unattended drop-offs. The partnership with EverDriven successfully boosted student attendance records and provided the district with essential data visibility, all while navigating budget constraints and a nationwide bus driver shortage.
