EverDriven Partners with Pathwise to Bring Expert General Education Routing Solutions to School Districts Nationwide

The strategic partnership helps school districts efficiently route, reduce costs, and meet the needs of all students they serve

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

This marks the first in a planned series of routing software partnerships that will expand EverDriven's ability to serve districts across their full transportation picture. To learn more, visit https://www.everdriven.com/technology/consolidated-routing-services/
