School transportation coordination
Every rider.
Every run.
Every handoff.
Kidhopper keeps dispatchers, drivers and pickup coordinators working from the same plan — recurring schedules, rider records and the day’s changes, organized in one place.

The 6:45 a.m. problem
The plan lives in a spreadsheet. The changes live in text messages. The riders depend on both lining up.
Kidhopper gives the recurring plan and the daily exceptions a shared home, so the people coordinating school transportation stop reconciling five sources before the first bell.
How it works
A plan for the week. Room for the day.
- 01
Build the week
Enter riders, drivers and vehicles, then lay out the recurring runs your team already knows by heart.
- 02
Adjust the day
Each morning, dispatch handles the exceptions — reassign a driver, swap a vehicle, move a rider — on top of the plan.
- 03
Close the loop
Drivers and pickup coordinators record attendance and status from their own scoped links as the run happens.
Capabilities
What Kidhopper actually does.
No route-optimizing promises, no live-map theatrics. Just the coordination work your team does every day, organized properly.
Recurring pickup and dropoff schedules
Set the weekly pattern once. Mornings, afternoons, early-release days — the plan repeats until you change it.
Rider, driver and vehicle records
One organized record for each rider, driver and vehicle, so nobody is working from last semester’s spreadsheet.
Staff assignments
Match drivers and vehicles to runs, and see at a glance which runs still need someone.
Dispatch adjustments
A driver calls out, a van is in the shop. Adjust today without rewriting the recurring plan.
Attendance and status updates
Drivers and coordinators mark who was picked up and dropped off, so the whole team sees the same day.
Scoped driver and coordinator links
Share a focused view with the people who need it — just their runs, just their riders, nothing more.
Organization roles
Decide who can edit schedules, who can dispatch and who only needs to view. Access follows responsibility.
Who it serves
Three jobs. One shared picture.
Dispatchers
The person who starts the day with a plan and ends it with every rider accounted for.
- Full picture of today’s runs
- Fast reassignments
- Gaps surfaced, not buried
Drivers
The person behind the wheel who needs clarity, not another app to learn.
- Only their own runs
- Simple status marking
- A link, not a login maze
Pickup coordinators
The person at the curb making sure every handoff happens.
- Who is expected, and when
- Attendance in the moment
- Same view as dispatch
How we build it
Straightforward about what it is.
- Scoped by default. People see the runs and riders their role requires.
- Built around existing routines. Your recurring plan stays the source of truth; daily changes sit on top.
- Honest scope. Kidhopper coordinates your team’s work. Safety on the road stays with the trained people doing it.
