Zūm Connected Mobility Experience:
A unified system you can count on
People, vehicles, and operations connected and coordinated in real-time, transforming a daily source of anxiety and disruption into a delightful experience.
Reliability
Students arrive on time and ready to learn
Drivers and transportation teams have the right information and tools to focus on safe driving and the student experience. Dispatchers are empowered to coordinate routing and dispatch dynamically to prevent delays. Students’ ride times are shortened, reducing missed school breakfasts and late arrivals to class.
Transparency
Families gain trust and confidence
Students and families get a consistent, transparent experience that provides safety across every ride. Parents and caregivers receive real-time, role-appropriate visibility into where their children are. They also receive proactive communication of changes, delays, and issue resolutions.
Efficiency
Districts do more with less
School districts gain tremendous efficiencies with the unified CMX platform. Routes are designed and optimized to ensure commute times for students are reduced, fewer buses are on the road without sacrificing coverage and the right size of vehicles are being used.
