Our take
HopSkipDrive is an LA-based organization committed to eliminating transportation barriers for children, including those requiring special assistance. The organization was launched by three women who cite their "Mom DNA" as the reason for the success of HopSkipDrive, entwining their innate desire to help their own kids with the goal of making opportunities accessible to all children.
With all CareDrivers requiring a minimum of five years' experience in a caregiving field, HopSkipDrive operates on the principles of empathy, safety, and reliability. This is a smart rule to implement, as not only can they avoid those with inadequate experience, but they also ensure that employees are truly committed to helping children - the very reason the organization was founded. The company makes money by keeping a percentage of the fares it charges (CareDrivers get the rest).
HopSkipDrive collaborates with a number of social agencies and school districts, providing them with effective youth transportation solutions. Although the company is competing with existing transportation providers, such as national services, it continues to grow as a viable and fresh alternative, raising impressive funds and growing its leadership team with new hires. The company's results back up its success as well, saving 160,000 pounds of CO2 emissions in eight months after launching its SmartPooling ride-share product. Results and moves like these will allow it to expand its services and continue the modernization of school transportation.
