Education Transport

Built for operators managing repeat transport at scale.

MyRide's Repeat Contracts and Home-to-School platform has been designed specifically for operators managing structured transport services. Whether you're running school contracts, SEND transport, adult social care, NHS shuttles, employee transport or recurring corporate journeys, MyRide provides the tools to manage thousands of scheduled trips without the administration burden traditionally associated with contract work.

Most transport systems were designed for on-demand bookings. MyRide was built to handle recurring transport as a core part of the platform.

The Problem With Traditional Contract Management

For many operators, contract work represents the most stable and profitable area of the business. Unfortunately, it is also often the most difficult to manage.

Most dispatch systems create every future booking when a contract is entered. A single five-year school contract can generate thousands of bookings immediately, creating database bloat, slow updates and significant administrative overhead.

MyRide takes a completely different approach. The platform stores the contract itself and generates only the journeys that are actually required.

The Technology Behind Scalable Contracts

Lazy-Generation Contract Architecture

A five-year school contract may contain over 1,300 journeys. Most systems create all 1,300 bookings instantly. MyRide generates only the journeys required within the active operating window, typically 14 days ahead.

The result: faster system performance, instant contract updates, reduced database load, cleaner operational management, and no mass updates when schedules change.

Designed Around How School Transport Actually Works

Home-to-School Transport Built In

School transport is not treated as a normal booking. It operates within its own dedicated operational environment.

  • Child information, parent contacts and guardian information
  • School details, medical notes and safeguarding information
  • Risk assessments, special requirements, route assignments and attendance tracking

Route Management & Scheduling

Operators can build highly flexible schedules directly within Mission Control. Routes can be modified instantly without rebuilding entire contracts.

  • Different pickup and return times per day
  • Multiple passengers, shared routes, driver and vehicle assignments
  • Term-time only services, holiday exclusions, inset days and bank holiday exceptions

Create Once. Run Forever.

Contract Templates

Contract Templates allow operators to create reusable service structures which can be deployed repeatedly across multiple contracts.

  • Daily school routes and staff shuttle services
  • Airport crew transfers and healthcare transport routes
  • Corporate employee services

Exception Management

Rather than forcing operators to rebuild contracts, MyRide allows exceptions to be managed individually while keeping the underlying contract intact.

  • Skip individual days or change pickup times
  • Remove or add temporary passengers
  • Replace vehicles or drivers and override route requirements

Contract Bidding Marketplace

Operators can publish recurring contracts to eligible drivers. Interested drivers submit bids directly through the Driver App, reducing administration and increasing driver engagement.

  • Schedule, days of operation and hours
  • Vehicle and passenger requirements
  • Contract duration and expected earnings

Driver Assignment & Route Ownership

Parents want familiar drivers. Children require consistency. MyRide allows operators to assign dedicated drivers to routes while still maintaining contingency plans if a driver becomes unavailable.

Safeguarding & Compliance

When transporting children, vulnerable adults or healthcare passengers, compliance cannot be an afterthought. Expired documents can automatically prevent drivers or vehicles from being allocated work.

  • Enhanced DBS, driver badges, licences, insurance and MOT
  • Medical certificates, training records and risk assessments
  • Document expiry tracking with automatic reminders

Attendance & Journey Tracking

Every journey is fully recorded, creating a complete audit trail that can be shared with schools, councils and contract managers.

  • Driver arrival, passenger collection and drop-off confirmation
  • Missed collections, absences and late running
  • Route deviations and journey completion

Bulk Upload Contracts

Rather than manually entering each passenger, operators can upload schedules directly into MyRide. Errors are identified before journeys are created.

  • Passenger information, journey details and route information
  • Contact details, scheduling rules and address data

Reporting For Councils & Contract Managers

Reports can be exported or shared directly with local authorities and contract stakeholders.

  • Passenger movements, route performance and attendance
  • Driver performance, vehicle utilisation and safeguarding events
  • Complaints, missed journeys, contract revenue and operational KPIs
