Case Study: Wichita Public Schools achieves student transportation stability with EverDriven

Wichita Public Schools supports nearly 50,000 students with EverDriven

Wichita Public Schools, a large urban school district, faced the challenge of providing stable and compliant transportation for students experiencing homelessness, foster care, and other specialized needs, as mandated by the McKinney-Vento Act. Their traditional bus routes were too rigid to accommodate the rapid changes in student living situations. To solve this, they partnered with the vendor EverDriven for a flexible transportation service.

EverDriven implemented a student-centered model that provided customized rides with vetted drivers, allowing the district to quickly adjust to individual needs. This solution enabled Wichita Public Schools to reduce disruptions for vulnerable students, maintain compliance, and ensure reliable service. The partnership with EverDriven was highlighted for its clear communication and shared commitment to student well-being, successfully removing a major barrier to educational equity.
