Come join Zum TODAY in Howard County and drive for a better future!

At Zum, we believe that our school bus drivers are central to the work that we do. After all, there is nothing more important than getting our kids to and from school safely every day.

We invest in our school bus drivers. In Howard County, we will bring 250 new buses, employing more than 250 local Maryland bus drivers. Each employee is given intensive training, competitive pay at $26 – $30 per hour wage rate, healthcare plans, a 401(k), paid time off, and a slew of other benefits.

“Our approach to student transportation is not just incremental but transformative, and that starts with people,” said Liz Sanchez, Executive Vice President of School Bus Operations at Zum. “We take pride in hiring the best team and invest heavily in training them, equipping them and providing a culture that puts drivers first. We are committed to providing a great workplace and environment for our school bus drivers and staff so that we can best serve the students and families of HCPSS.”
