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.
