About Us
Carpool.School was born from firsthand experience. Parents spend hours navigating school transportation, yet options remain limited. Bus routes are shrinking, and over half of school travel now happens in private vehicles. Parents turn to informal carpools, but without structure, coordination is frustrating and unreliable. Seeing this need, we developed Carpool.School to empower schools to facilitate effective and easy carpools within the school community, while Empowering Parents with Full Control.
The decline in school bus ridership is driven by school choice programs and consolidations, while charter and private schools often lack busing altogether, and after-school activity days typically have no bus service. These changes complicate transportation logistics, increase costs, and exacerbate existing inequities. Carpool.School provides the technology to support schools, families, and communities in creating efficient, environmentally sustainable transportation. It directly Saves Families Time, Money, and Stress.
