EverDriven Expands RideAware App to Nine Languages, Deepening Access for Caregivers and Families

Latest RideAware Update Brings Real-Time Trip Visibility to Arabic, Dari, Amharic, Nepali, Somali, French, and Vietnamese-Speaking Families, Joining Existing English and Spanish Support

DENVER, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today EverDriven, the nation's modern student transportation leader, announced expanded language support for its RideAware mobile app for iOS and Android. Caregivers and authorized school staff can now use RideAware in nine languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Vietnamese, Dari, Amharic, Nepali, and Somali. The expansion gives more families the ability to track their student's ride in real time, view driver and vehicle information, receive pickup and dropoff notifications, and manage trip changes, all in their native language.

RideAware syncs ride information securely across caregivers, districts, and drivers servicing EverDriven trips into a single view of the student journey. With this update, that same visibility now reaches families who speak seven additional languages, reflecting the growing linguistic diversity of the districts EverDriven serves.

"Families expect 360-degree visibility into EverDriven student experience in their native language," said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. "Language should never be the reason a caregiver feels left out of their child's transportation experience. Expanding RideAware to these languages means more families have confidence in what they are seeing on their phone, and that is what makes consistent, reliable transportation possible."

RideAware: Now Available in Nine Languages

RideAware gives caregivers and authorized school staff real-time visibility into a student's ride. New users are automatically greeted in their device's default language when one of the nine supported languages is detected, and existing users can switch languages at any time under Settings.

To protect student privacy and safety, only authorized adults can access trip information in RideAware. In any of the nine supported languages, caregivers and school staff can:

• Track Rides with Confidence: Follow a student's ride as it happens in real time, with driver and vehicle information available directly from a phone.
• Make Updates with Ease: Modify or cancel a trip when a student is sick or plans change, with updates available up to two hours before pickup.
• Choose Their Preferred Language: Select from nine supported languages under Settings, with the app defaulting to a device's language setting automatically.
• Receive Pickup and Dropoff Notifications: Schools get notifications when a student is picked up, reducing calls to drivers, uncertain ETAs, and unnecessary coordination efforts.

Expanding language access supports EverDriven's broader commitment to reaching every student who needs a reliable ride, particularly in districts serving large multilingual caregiver and student populations. When caregivers can fully understand pickup times, driver information, and trip changes, they spend less time calling schools or drivers for clarification, and more time trusting that their student will arrive safe, calm, and ready to learn.
