Back to School 2025: Spokane, WA

It’s back-to-school week for Spokane Public Schools!

Zūm drivers and staff are excited to welcome back students in Spokane, Wash. The 2025-26 school year marks the third year of Zum’s partnership with Spokane Public Schools, and we have had a busy summer making sure all equipment and technology are in top shape and drivers are 100% comfortable with their routes for the first day of school.

“We are ready and eager to deliver safe, reliable service to students, families and schools in Spokane,” said Jennifer Sievers, Spokane General Manager at Zum. “Our drivers love what they do and are proud to play a positive role in these students’ lives. We’re fortunate to have a fantastic team on the ground here as well as a supportive school community.” 

“It is a pleasure to serve students in Spokane Public Schools, and we are fully prepared for another successful year with best-in-class student transportation,” said Liz Sanchez, Executive Vice President of Student Transportation at Zum. “Drivers are the center of what we do, and we take pride in hiring the best team.”

Before the start of the school year, Zum celebrated its drivers and staff with a launch event at the bus yard.

Zum manages and operates safe, reliable and equitable student transportation in more than 4,000 schools across 14 states nationwide. In addition to highly trained drivers and state-of-the-art school buses, Zum integrates data-driven routing, driver tracking and enhanced safety measures, offering families real-time updates through the Zum mobile app.

We are grateful to our top-notch team in Spokane as well as families and schools for their support!
