HOUSTON, TX – Today, ADROIT Advanced Technologies, a partner company of Beacon Mobility, announced that it will begin serving general and special education customers in the Midwest beginning in January 2023. With the acquisition and integration of ADROIT in 2021, the Beacon became the first school transportation provider in the nation to offer an alternative transportation option in addition to traditional home-to-school and special education services.
Interest in alternative transportation models has accelerated since the pandemic, as school districts struggle to meet new demands for flexibility while managing a national driver shortage. ADROIT offers a scheduled, cost-effective service to a smaller student population that can be added to established school routes to ensure all students can be accommodated – particularly in more rural service areas where routes are simpler.
“ADROIT is designed to be a complementary and complementary resource to the traditional yellow bus and truck programs, and we are proud to support Beacon Mobility's expansion into the alternative transportation space to meet the needs of our communities,” said Emran Saidan, Co-Founder & CEO of ADROIT Advanced Technologies. “ADROIT recognizes the importance of stability for student passengers. Our model ensures that children are matched with a consistent driver trained to support each child's unique needs, and we look forward to expanding our footprint across the Beacon Mobility family.”
“We are excited to add ADROIT's platform to our established transportation services, giving districts freedom of choice to pursue creative, alternative transportation solutions that offer greater flexibility to students and families,” said Judith Crawford, CEO of Beacon Mobility. “We are excited to be the first bus company to become a one-stop shop for school transportation leaders, enabling them to create custom plans that best serve their unique student populations.”
