DENVER, Colo. — EverDriven, the nation’s leader in Alternative Student Transportation, today announced a strategic partnership with Pathwise, a cloud-based K–12 operations platform whose EZRouting software powers student transportation for districts nationwide. The partnership brings EverDriven’s Consolidated Routing Services, which includes both yellow school bus and alternative student transportation, together with Pathwise EZRouting software for a general education routing solution that delivers expertise, efficiency and ease of use to school districts nationwide.

“Today’s transportation leaders know that better outcomes require more than the right software. They require the right expertise,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “Transportation directors trust us for alternative student transportation and EverDriven’s Consolidated Routing Services now brings that same expertise to the yellow school bus. It’s a natural pairing to integrate this service with Pathwise EZRouting software for a seamless end-to-end general education routing experience.”

By combining Pathwise’s AI-powered optimization with EverDriven’s deep expertise, built over years leading alternative student transportation and now extended to yellow school bus routing through Consolidated Routing Services — districts get routes that cost less to operate, run reliably in the field, and reflect a deep understanding of which solutions work for which students.

“Districts have trusted EZRouting to run their general education transportation for years, and this partnership makes that investment even more powerful,” said Nate Brogan, CEO at Pathwise. “Combining our AI-driven routing technology with EverDriven’s hands-on expertise gives transportation teams the best of both: smart software and seasoned guidance, working together for the students they serve.”

For transportation directors balancing competing demands on tight budgets, the payoff is clear.

Pathwise EZRouting continues to manage route planning, dispatch, GPS, field trips, and caregiver communications across the fleet, while EverDriven’s Consolidated Routing Services ensures every route is built for efficiency, safety, and scale. The result is a smarter, more integrated, and cost-effective operation with fewer moving parts to oversee.

DENVER, Colo. — EverDriven, the nation’s leading provider of Alternative Student Transportation, today announced the launch of TripCentral, the latest evolution of its transportation management hub designed for school districts to efficiently manage operations while improving visibility, flexibility, and service for students and families.

Developed in direct response to feedback from school district partners, TripCentral evolves EverDriven’s district portal into a transportation management hub where school districts can plan, visualize, update, and analyze transportation services across all of their schools from a single interface, with focus on real-time visibility, operational transparency, and ease of use.

“School districts have been clear about what they need: constant visibility into student transportation, fast access to data, and technology that keeps pace with the complexity of their work,” said EverDriven CEO Mitch Bowling. “TripCentral is our direct response to that. It gives transportation teams the tools to manage student transportation with more confidence, make better-informed decisions, and deliver more consistent service for every student they serve.”

Through TripCentral, districts can:
Save valuable staff time by quickly submitting and updating trip requests, organizing transportation details in one place, and tracking trip progress and notifications in real time.

Deliver more personalized transportation services by capturing each student’s unique transportation requirements—including mobility assistance, safety equipment needs, and behavioral considerations—to help ensure the right support from day one.

Support flexible scheduling needs with customized pickup and drop-off arrangements that reflect real-world student circumstances, including changing schedules and housing situations.

Streamline operations with self-service reporting and analytics that provide actionable insights into transportation performance, helping districts improve coordination, allocate resources more effectively, and identify opportunities for greater efficiency.

For districts already utilizing EverDriven’s district portal, TripCentral retains the core functionality users rely on today while delivering a more modern, intuitive interface and significantly expanding the capabilities available within a single platform. Harnessing the power of AI to deliver the best possible experience, TripCentral is the first in a series of meaningful technology improvements EverDriven is rolling out to districts and caregivers at the start of the school year, with on-demand trip changes and additional capabilities to follow throughout the school year.

“As student transportation becomes increasingly complex, districts need technology that not only improves efficiency but helps them better serve students and families,” Bowling added. “TripCentral provides the oversight districts need to manage transportation with confidence while ensuring every student has access to safe, reliable rides to and from school.”

TripCentral will be available to school district partners nationwide for the 26-27 school year. To learn more, visit www.everdriven.com/technology/district-portal/.
