Every ride is designed with child safety in mind.
Families deserve dependable transportation solutions.
Consistent transportation when families need it most.
KidHop is a transportation coordination service built specifically for Houston families. We work with professional mini-bus operators and independently vetted drivers to provide safe, scheduled transportation for children — from school to home, to after-school activities, and beyond.
Every driver in the KidHop network has passed a background check. Not a rideshare. Not a school bus. A structured, family-first transportation system with consistent drivers, predictable schedules, and a text update every time your child is picked up and dropped off.
Every transportation provider in the KidHop network is already operating legally and professionally — they carry commercial insurance, drive properly equipped vehicles, and have experience transporting children.
KidHop vets every driver and transportation partner before they are matched with families. Every route is monitored closely so parents feel confident from day one — and every day after.
Parent surveys consistently tell us that familiarity and consistency matter most. That's why KidHop prioritizes matching families with the same driver on every route — and maintains a network where the majority of drivers are women.
You'll receive updates at pickup and drop-off, every time. We're not just saying safety is a priority — it's the reason KidHop exists.

JodyAnn Baker — Founder, KidHop
KidHop was founded by JodyAnn Baker — a mother, sociologist, and business strategist who lived the daily stress of school transportation firsthand. After years of navigating school schedules, after-school pickups, and work obligations that never seemed to align, JodyAnn built the solution she wished had existed. KidHop is designed around how real families actually live — not how systems assume they do. Because every child deserves to get home safely, and every parent deserves to breathe easier.
KidHop is actively building routes across the Houston metro area based on where families need support most. Join the waitlist to tell us your neighborhood — every sign-up helps us prioritize the next route.
We'll notify you as soon as a route opens in your area.
Whether your child lost transportation after a school transfer, the bus doesn't reach your neighborhood, or your work schedule just doesn't line up with school dismissal — KidHop was built for exactly your situation.
We connect families with professional, licensed transportation operators who are already in your neighborhood. Small groups. Consistent drivers. Predictable schedules. And a real person you can text when something comes up.
This is what reliable school transportation should feel like.
