HOPSKIPDRIVE
SAFETY REPORT | 2021
A letter from the CEO I always start by saying this, but it bears repeating. HopSkipDrive was founded by three protective mothers. Before making any decision, we asked ourselves, “What would it take to put my child in this car?” The company has grown from three moms to over 100 employees serving 20 markets across 10 states and D.C.; we still continue to ask ourselves that question with every new initiative.
Joanna McFarland CO-FOUNDER AND CEO
I’m incredibly proud of this year’s safety updates, including the various optimizations made within the CareDriver app and RideIQ platform to increase safety during rides. I’m also incredibly proud of our safety data: 100% of rides were completed without a critical safety incident. This update continues our perfect record: There has never been a critical safety incident in the eight years HopSkipDrive has been in business.
I consider this, more than our expansion, more than any funding we receive or awards we win, to be HopSkipDrive’s greatest accomplishment. HopSkipDrive sets the bar above and beyond for safe youth transportation solutions. We believe that safety is so much more than compliance to — often outdated — regulations; it’s continuous innovation, setting a higher bar for the industry, and, of course, being transparent, as we do with this report. Sincerely, Joanna McFarland
