How Does HopSkipDrive Work?
- Step 1: SoCal ROC will schedule a trip for your child. The HopSkipDrive platform connects us with a network of highly qualified CareDrivers.
- Step 2: You will receive a text message from HopSkipDrive with information on the ride and a link to download the mobile app to track your child’s ride in real-time. You will also receive status updates via text.
- Step 3: In the enrollment process, you will create a code word that your rider will know. Upon pickup, CareDrivers will provide the Rider’s name and code word to verify they are the correct driver. They will also ask your Rider for their birthday.
- Step 4: When it is time for your child to be picked up, have them keep an eye-out for the orange HopSkipDrive Decal in the car windshield to help identify the CareDriver upon arrival.
- Step 5: You and your child will be notified via live ride text message updates when the CareDriver is on their way, when they arrive, when they depart, and when they safely reach the destination. You will also be able to track their ride on the HopSkipDrive app.
