Case Study: KIPP Indy closes the attendance gap and cuts transportation fees by 85% with HopSkipDrive

KIPP Indy closes the attendance gap and cuts transportation fees by 85% with HopSkipDrive

KIPP Indy, a nonprofit network of charter schools in Indianapolis, faced a significant challenge in transporting its high school students experiencing homelessness. Their previous brokerage-based vendor created a "broker trap" with zero agility for schedule changes, no visibility into billing, and nearly $500,000 in annual costs, which prevented students from reliably attending school.

By partnering with HopSkipDrive, KIPP Indy gained a transparent and agile transportation solution. The results were transformative: average daily attendance for students experiencing homelessness surged by nearly 10% over three years, nearly reaching parity with the general student population. Furthermore, HopSkipDrive enabled KIPP Indy to slash transportation fees by 85% year-over-year and save $1,900 in cancellation costs in the very first week.
