For transportation operators
Student transportation software built around your daily runs.
For after-school programs, camps and pickup services that move children between schools, programs and home. Kidhopper keeps the recurring plan, the day’s changes and the record of every handoff in one place.
What you run in Kidhopper
From the weekly plan to the last drop-off.
Recurring schedules
Set each rider’s weekly pickups and drop-offs once, with the schools, programs and homes you serve saved as locations. The plan repeats until you change it.
Same-day dispatch changes
Reassign a driver, swap a vehicle or move a rider for one day without rewriting the recurring plan.
Driver and coordinator links by text
Publish the day and each driver or pickup-point coordinator gets a text with a link to their own runs and riders. Links expire after 24 hours.
Driver start of day
Drivers clock in, complete a vehicle check before driving and report issues in Kidhopper, so dispatch sees them the same morning.
A custody record for every handoff
Each pickup, drop-off and absence is recorded with who marked it and when, and the custody report shows the full trail for a rider on a trip.
Compliance dates in one report
Track driver license, background check and CPR certification expirations, plus vehicle insurance and registration, and see what is due or expired.
Absences, on time or not
Parents mark a child absent for a trip themselves. Notices after your cutoff time, and no-shows your staff record at the curb, go into a separate report.
Roles for everyone involved
Admins, dispatchers, drivers, pickup-point coordinators and parents each see what their role needs, inside your organization only.
Parents included
Fewer “is my child on the van?” calls.
Parents you invite sign in to see each child’s pickups for the day, who is driving, and when a trip is marked picked up. They can mark a child absent for a trip themselves, so the change reaches dispatch without a phone call.
What parents seeStraightforward about what it is
- Your routine stays the source of truth. Daily changes sit on top of the recurring plan.
- Scoped by default. Drivers and coordinators see their own runs; parents see their own children.
- Coordination, not driving. Safety on the road stays with your trained staff.
