WA: Uber-Like Program Brought Into Spokane Public Schools to Meet Transportation Needs

January 28, 2021

HopSkipDrive, a Los Angeles-based transportation service originally started by a group of working mothers, has begun providing services to students in Spokane Public Schools to help  meet the challenges of transportation during the pandemic. “This is part of an ongoing effort of being innovative and efficient, and being good stewards,” Superintendent Adam Swinyard said. The transportation service will particularly benefit students with special education needs, as those associated costs will be covered under ESSA.
