Case Study: Sun Prairie Area School District achieves safer, more transparent student transportation with HopSkipDrive

Sun Prairie Area School District serves 8,600 students with HopSkipDrive

The Sun Prairie Area School District, a rapidly expanding district serving approximately 8,600 students, faced significant challenges in providing transportation for its McKinney-Vento eligible students. Their reliance on local taxi services resulted in student absences due to unreliability, safety concerns from a lack of real-time tracking, and a stigma for the students. The district sought a safer and more efficient alternative to this problematic system.

The district implemented HopSkipDrive and its RideIQ platform. This solution provided real-time ride tracking for safety and transparency, a more user-friendly system for managing rides, and vehicles that reduced student stigma. As a result, HopSkipDrive delivered improved reliability, substantial time savings for staff, and greater peace of mind for parents and the district.
