About Us
At BuckledIn, we eliminate transportation as a barrier to children's success. We do this by mobilizing outstanding adults who want to have a positive impact on children. Our drivers transport many school-age students experiencing homelessness, living in foster care, living with mental or emotional special needs, or other circumstances that make traditional yellow school buses a poor transportation option. That's where we come in.
We match each student with a part-time driver who takes that student to and from school every day.
Our values
- Excellence Everywhere: We bring the same high level of urgency and quality to every child and every partner.
- Learn Continuously: We are nimble and creative problem-solvers who treat mistakes as opportunities to grow.
- Trust Is Everything: We treat each other with respect and candor, and we always keep our word.
