Case Study: Kansas City Public Schools achieves 90% on-time student transportation with EverDriven

Kansas City Public Schools boosts on-time student transportation to over 90% with EverDriven

Kansas City Public Schools faced significant challenges in providing reliable transportation, particularly for nearly 2,000 students eligible under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The district was dealing with bus driver shortages, inconsistent pickup times from traditional cab services, and limited visibility into ride status, which created a major barrier to student attendance. To address this, they partnered with the vendor EverDriven for their alternative student transportation service.

EverDriven implemented a dedicated solution featuring technology like the TripCentral app for administrators and the VIP App for caretakers to provide real-time visibility and improve communication. By taking a measured, phased approach, Kansas City Public Schools saw on-time performance improve from 72-75% to over 90%. This reliability contributed to higher student attendance and fewer complaints, establishing transportation as a critical driver of student success.
