HopSkipDrive

HopSkipDrive is a Los Angeles-based youth and supplemental student transportation company that arranges rides for students who cannot be served by a traditional yellow bus — students with IEPs, students experiencing homelessness under McKinney-Vento, students in foster care, and students on out-of-boundary or hard-to-route trips. Districts, charter networks, county offices, government agencies and nonprofits book and monitor rides through RideIQ, HopSkipDrive's web platform, while families track trips in the HopSkipDrive mobile app and vetted CareDrivers work from a driver app. The company also sells RouteWise AI, a routing-analysis product that models a district's student base, fleet and constraints to produce route scenarios. HopSkipDrive reports more than 5 million completed rides across 14,000+ schools and 2,000+ districts. Its platform surface is commercial and account-gated: as of this profile HopSkipDrive publishes no public developer portal, no API documentation and no machine-readable API contract, though its RideIQ front end is backed by a private versioned REST API host and a WebSocket event stream.

HopSkipDrive is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Transportation, Student Transportation, Education, and Mobility.

HopSkipDrive’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, pricing, changelog, and 17 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/hopskipdrive: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
