This week Zūm kicked off the 2024-25 school year with back-to-school celebrations in Los Angeles and San Bernardino, Calif.

At the launch events, drivers and staff gathered in the Zum bus yards. This is the second year Zum has partnered with San Bernardino Unified School District for student transportation; in Los Angeles, plans are already underway to transition to an all-electric fleet of school buses.

“Drivers are at the center of what we do at Zum, and we’re excited to kick off the school year with these outstanding teams in Los Angeles and San Bernardino,” said Liz Sanchez, Executive Vice President of Student Transportation at Zum. “We take pride in providing an excellent workplace culture and environment for all drivers and staff so that we can best serve students and families. We’re looking forward to a great year!”

“Students in San Bernardino deserve the best, and we’re fortunate to have such a highly trained and collaborative group of drivers and staff,” Said Eric Huegerich, General Manager, San Bernardino at Zum. “We are eager and ready to deliver best-in-class service in the new school year.”
