What We Do:

At BuckledIn, we eliminate transportation as a barrier to children's success. We do this by mobilizing outstanding adults who want to have a positive impact on children. Our drivers transport many school-age students experiencing homelessness, living in foster care, living with mental or emotional special needs, or other circumstances that make traditional yellow school buses a poor transportation option. That's where we come in.


We match each student with a part-time driver who takes that student to and from school every day. Many of our drivers are current or former teachers, nurses, nannies, babysitters, personal caregivers, nursing home aides, social workers, parents, and grandparents who are eager to be a positive influence in their student's lives.

Our Values:

Excellence Everywhere: We don't settle-we set the standard. From safety to service, we exceed expectations to protect and support students at every turn.

Driven to Learn : Curious, open-minded, and always improving. We embrace feedback, seek new ideas, and grow so we can serve better every day.

Trust Is Everything: We earn trust through consistency, respect, and follow-through. Our words and actions align, every time.
