We are a family just like yours, concerned about our children’s safety and how they get back and forth to school each day. This is why we believe that a community driven, tech-based solution to school transportation can help give us all peace of mind, while helping to fill in some of the transportation gaps, where buses are not even an option for 50% of U.S. students.
It is widely known throughout the U.S. that schools are suffering with outdated transportation models and transportation budget cuts that are pulling money out of the classroom. This is why we specifically designed the My School Carpool Platform to help streamline carpooling for parents and enabling them to get their students to school safer. It is estimated that a school can save $37,000 per year just by eliminating one bus route.
In America, we spend over $20 billion dollars per year on school busing. And, less then 50% of students use the bus. It is a goal of My School Carpool to divert as much of this $20 billion as possible into the classroom.
