Today, the Financial Times announced that Zūm has been named to its annual “The Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies List,” a recognition that supports Zum’s position as the leader in modern student transportation. Zum ranks No. 28 on this year’s list of the top 300 companies and is the highest-ranking company in the Logistics & Transportation category. This is the third year in a row that Zum has been named to this prestigious list of innovative leaders across North, South, and Latin America.

“Zum is leading a national movement to change the status quo in student transportation and transform how we apply critical technological innovation into the largest mass transit system in the country,” said Ritu Narayan, Founder and CEO at Zum. “We are delighted to be named one of The Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies by the Financial Times for the third year in a row, and to be included on a list of some of the most impressive companies across this Hemisphere.” 

Zum currently serves thousands of schools across 14 states, including districts in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland; Boston; Seattle; Spokane; Nashville; Omaha; Kansas City, Mo.; Howard County, Md.; and more.

“From new school district partnerships to launching the nation’s first all-electric school bus fleet with the ability to power the grid, we have made great strides in the past year in delivering a safe, reliable and equitable student transportation solution,” Narayan added. “We are grateful to all of the families, drivers, school districts and communities nationwide that support our mission.”
