Rapid route deployment with Zum

Garvey School District (serving 5,000+ students in Los Angeles) cut its special education transportation expenses by 30% by transitioning to Zum. By using smaller, optimized vehicles, they successfully reduced student commute times from over an hour down to as little as 15 minutes, allowing students to arrive at school well-rested and ready to learn.

1914 translation by H. Rackham

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"

I have closely worked with the Zum team over the last 7 years, and have observed first-hand the benefit of applying their technology to solve our complex day-to-day operations needs.

With Zūm CMX, we save about $3.5 million on a yearly basis, just by reducing the number of routes. We reduced routes by 10% immediately, right when we implemented it. All of our key metrics and KPIs improved right away.

Tomas Beccar-Varela
Executive Director
San Francisco Unified School District

Zūm CMX gives us so much visibility and insight into what's happening in our school transportation. We can see ahead of time that a bus is running late, track that route, and proactively adjust it to make sure it arrives on time. Parents are able to track their bus and get real time ETAs, so they know exactly where their child's bus is at. The software and the technology are great, but the real value is the peace of mind and communication that they provide.

Zūm just brought the overall student mobility operation and the experience to a whole new level. Zūm really focuses on the entire experience not just for the students, but for the school districts as a whole. They completely full-circled the operation by improving communication with families and with us. They also offered us a full EV system that really put the cherry on top of the entire operation. It was a no-brainer to choose Zūm.

Zūm's proven track record, along with its enhanced communication and equity-focused decision making, has greatly benefited our students, families, and drivers in Kansas City. We appreciate their commitment to safety, efficiency, transparency, and student-centered approach, and have been excited to partner with them.
