Strategic Account Executive
Little Ferry, NJ, United States
About Our Client
Our client’s mission is to create opportunity for all through mobility. Their innovative, supplemental school transportation solutions are used by over 600 school districts, charter schools, nonprofits, government agencies, as well as busy families to safely and reliably get kids where they need to go.
Student transportation is the largest mass transit system in the U.S. The way kids get to and from school has a direct impact on our kids, families, schools, and communities. While school districts spend $28 billion annually on transportation, only 30% of kids get to school on a bus. The current system can no longer meet all the transportation needs of our districts, schools, and families — and its shortcomings are causing inequities in educational access that are affecting the welfare of millions of kids each day.
Our client is taking a different approach to arranging safe, reliable school transportation that meets needs that aren’t being addressed by the current system, helping to fill gaps and supplement the student transportation options available. They create personalized transportation solutions for the one to the many, and everything in between.
They’re a Company with Heart
Their partnerships with school districts, child welfare agencies, and nonprofits ensure equitable educational access for the most vulnerable populations, including youth in foster care, children experiencing homelessness, and students with disabilities.
They understand that the difference between struggle and success can sometimes be as simple as the ability to show up, which is why they’re on a mission to use innovative technology — coupled with operational expertise and new ways of thinking — to help kids reach their full potential by providing a safe, dependable way to get them where they are going.
