EverDriven Marks 18 Years in Washington State, Surpassing 17 Million Miles and 1.4 Million Rides for Students

Miles driven up 26%, rides completed up 16% since 2020, across districts serving Washington’s most vulnerable students safely, reliably and efficiently

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EverDriven, the leader in alternative student transportation, today marked 18 years of service across Washington State—surpassing 17 million miles driven and 1.4 million rides completed in support of students across the state. Over that time, EverDriven has partnered with school districts statewide to deliver safe, efficient transportation for students with unique needs—reinforcing its role as a trusted extension of district operations.

Nearly Two Decades of Statewide Impact

Since entering Washington in 2008, EverDriven has built relationships with districts across the state, from urban centers to rural communities, supporting more than 12,000 students. Between 2020 and 2025 alone, the company expanded total miles driven from 1.5 million to nearly 1.9 million annually, a 26% increase, while rides completed climbed from 96,000 to more than 111,000, a gain of nearly 16%. This sustained growth underscores EverDriven’s ability to deepen and expand district relationships while meeting the increasingly complex day‐to‐day transportation needs of districts and the students they serve.

EverDriven supports a range of student transportation needs across Washington districts, including services for students experiencing housing instability under the McKinney-Vento Act (52%) and students receiving special education services (19%). Supporting each of these unique needs requires coordination and dependable service, and reflects the role EverDriven plays alongside districts in helping ensure students have consistent access to school.

“Washington has been core to EverDriven’s mission from the very beginning,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “Eighteen years in, the trust our district partners place in us to show up consistently for their students is what drives everything we do. We’re proud of the students we’ve served and the partnerships we’ve established across the state of Washington, and we’re very focused on what comes next.”

A Trusted Transportation Partner to Washington School Districts

Across Washington, EverDriven currently serves 27 active district partners—providing safe, consistent transportation for students who depend on it most. The company’s model is built around continuity: safety-first, consistent drivers, efficient routes, and the kind of day-to-day stability that reduces anxiety for students and eases the minds of families. That consistency has made EverDriven a trusted extension of districts across the state, including Seattle Public Schools, Lake Washington School District and Kent School District.

“What I have enjoyed about our experience with EverDriven is the consistent driver for our students. This allows us to have consistency and alleviate student anxiety,” said Kristian Dahl, School Principal, Lake Washington School District, WA.

Looking ahead, EverDriven remains focused on serving as a trusted, reliable modern student transportation partner for Washington districts—leveraging its experience, scale, and commitment to safety to support students today and into the future.

Across 37 states, EverDriven continues to provide districts and all the communities they serve with peace of mind, accelerating positive change through safer, smarter student transportation.
