Youth Transportation: Information for Parents
General Information
The Destiny Tutoring Program has partnered with HopSkipDrive to set up rides for your child for transport to and from our facility. HopSkipDrive is a ride service for children, designed with safety in mind: HopSkipDrive CareDrivers are background checked, fingerprinted, vehicles are inspected and all aspects of the ride are monitored in real-time by HopSkipDrive staff. Parents may also download the app and monitor rides as they go.
How it Works
Parents may request ride services online at biblewaycc.org/destiny-tutoring-program or in person. When parents request transportation, they will be contacted by a Destiny Academy representative to create a ride schedule and establish pick up and drop off locations. When the schedule and locations are established, the child will be transported to the next available session. Parents can monitor rides via the HopSkipDrive app.
Parent/Rider Responsibilities
Ensure youth is ready for pick-up 15 minutes before scheduled time. Driver will NOT wait more than 15 minutes after scheduled pick-up time. Failure to meet ride time will result in the cancellation of ride.
Review behavioral expectations with youth:
Students are to be courteous and follow driver directions
Be prepared to receive calls/emails/texts during transportation times.
Have a plan in place for transportation in case of an emergency.
Real-Time Notifications
Parents will receive notifications regarding rider pickup and dropoff. Rides can also be monitored by downloading the HopSkipDrive app, using the same phone number used as the emergency contact. Directions are below.
Cancellations
Rides will be scheduled in advance by Destiny staff based on the schedule you request. If you need to cancel a ride or change a time for your rider, please email support@hopskipdrive.com or call (844) 467-7547 at least 8 hours in advance or by 10pm the day prior. As a courtesy, you may also notify Destiny Academy of ride cancellation at (669) 219-0548 Email: amims@biblewaycc.org.
Excessive cancellation may change ride eligibility.
How to Monitor Rides
Download the app and create a HopSkipDrive account using the same phone number you provided to Destiny.
When you see the ‘add a rider’ screen, you can click ‘Skip’ in the upper right hand corner. You do not need to add a rider in order to monitor rides.
The next screen displayed will be ‘Upcoming Rides’. Destiny will schedule all rides for students. Rides scheduled through Destiny will be labeled ‘You are monitoring this ride.’
