Who Are We?

 

  • About us:

    HopSkipDrive’s mission is to create opportunity for all through mobility. Our safe, innovative youth transportation solution is used by over 300 school districts, charter schools, government agencies and busy families to get kids where they need to go.With nearly 500,000 yellow buses on the road every day and 3.5 billion miles driven a year, student transportation is the largest mass transit system in the US. And while districts spend $25 billion annually on transportation, only 30% of kids get to school everyday on a school bus. Add to the equation a crippling bus driver shortage and increasing needs for individualized transportation solutions, and it is clear the current system is expensive, inefficient and ripe for disruption.We create personalized transportation solutions from one to many, and everything in between.

At HopSkipDrive, we know that challenges require different approaches, unique perspectives, and new ways of thinking.  We are building a team of creative problem-solvers from many different backgrounds.

    1. Practical application of legal theory in the context of a fast-paced tech environment, focusing on transportation and network companies.
    2. In-depth understanding of the legal issues related to machine learning, data privacy, and school transportation. 
    3. Skills in drafting legal documents and creating comprehensive handbooks for legal procedures.
    4. Experience in conducting and applying customer feedback to improve legal services and processes.

You will report to our Product Counsel, Arwen Berry, and be working with the entire Legal team. It’s a rare opportunity to gain exposure to a fun, creative and fast-paced work environment that is passionate about working to create opportunity for all through mobility.

Our Values

 

We’re a company with heart


Our partnerships with school districts, child welfare agencies and nonprofits ensure equitable educational access for our most vulnerable populations, including youth in foster care, youth experiencing homelessness, and youth with special needs. We understand that the difference between struggle and success can sometimes be as simple as the ability to show up, which is why we’re on a mission to use innovative technology, coupled with operational expertise and new thinking to help kids reach their full potential by providing a safe, dependable way to get them where they are going. 


We’re an awesome place to work


Our company culture has been well-recognized — HopSkipDrive has been named to Best Places to Work lists from Built in LA, Comparably, Inc. and the Los Angeles Business Journal. Comparably also named us to the Best Company for Professional Development, Best CEO and Best CEOs for Women lists. 


We’re growing rapidly


Founded by three moms as a solution to their own transportation challenges, we now serve nine states and 16 markets across the country and continue to expand at a rapid pace, twice making the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte 500 Fast-Growing Technology lists. Backed by top-tier venture capital firms, HopSkipDrive has raised $70M in funding to date. This position will join a small, entrepreneurial team at HopSkipDrive called RideIQ Solutions. We’re a “startup within a startup” on a mission to transform student transportation from the ground up.


Student transportation is the largest public transit system in America, and it needs help.  The national bus driver shortage is leaving kids without a ride to school and districts with few options.  Meanwhile, many school buses are largely empty, but transportation teams lack the modern decision-support technology and advanced analytics they need to design more efficient, data-driven systems.
