Special Education Transportation
About the role
Special needs kids don't take the old school buses anymore; they ride with Carepool to stay safe during Covid times. Drivers can use a vehicle provided by the company at an hourly rate or drive their own car. Carepool is a transportation platform for people with disabilities and the aging population, operating similarly to Uber but with scheduled, recurring rides. Drivers work on a project basis, build trusting relationships with riders, and may partner with other drivers to cover shifts as needed. Job types include full‑time, part‑time, temporary, internship, and contract.
