What our Customers are saying
We are proud to be working with some of the leading schools and districts across the US – and tens of thousands of amazing families.
"We chose to work with GoKid carpooling technology because of the friendly staff, their attentiveness to detail and their timeliness to respond to any of our inquiries and requests. We have been impressed with their knowledge and capabilities of coordinating their program with our student information system. We have been faced with a bus driver shortage that led to cancellation of a few routes and with GoKid we hope to solve that problem for all families. "
Peter Efstathiu
"I'm not sure what I did before discovering GoKid, and can’t imagine coordinating life with three kids playing multiple sports without it! If you haven’t downloaded the GoKid app, you’re missing out on an easier and much better way to simplify life and carpooling."
Robin Sowers
“We were looking to enhance our transportation offerings to relieve the pressure on our parents to coordinate carpooling and to offset the prohibitive costs of ride share and bussing. Gokid provided us with an alternative solution, that is helping parents that are unable to drive their kids - and can be used even for after-school activities! We're happy to see family registration rates of over 30% after the first three weeks."
Kirk Gossman
"This app has been a lifesaver for our middle school carpool. Everyone’s schedules change on a daily basis. This is a great and easy way to stay organized and communicate effectively."
