Thank you to @JoannMueller and @Axios for sharing how Zum's Connected Mobility Experience (CMX) platform is helping districts improve reliability, reduce costs, and drive better educational outcomes for students and families nationwide.

The future of transportation is not only electric. It is connected. ⚡

Zum and SFUSD are deploying the nation’s largest electric school bus fleet, with 104 buses and bidirectional charging infrastructure across San Francisco. 💚 🚌

Zum’s Connected Mobility Experience (CMX™) platform brings together electric buses, intelligent routing, live operations, parent communication, and energy management into one integrated system.

Together with SFUSD, we are helping redefine what modern mobility infrastructure can look like for cities, schools, and communities nationwide.

“This milestone represents a historic moment for San Francisco Unified and the city’s broader sustainability goals,” - Scott Wiener, CA State Senator

San Francisco has long set the standard for forward-thinking leadership at the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and community impact. As the City continues to invest in cleaner infrastructure and smarter public services, we are proud to partner with the San Francisco Unified School District to modernize student mobility through new electric buses that support a healthier, more resilient future for students and families.

"Since partnering together, SFUSD families are seeing:

✅ 98% average on-time performance
✅ 100% route coverage — even with the driver shortages other districts are dealing with
✅ $3.5 million in annual savings

That's a 10% cut to the transportation budget.
And that money goes right back where it belongs: into classrooms.

Most importantly, families and schools now experience a transportation system that is more reliable, transparent, and student-centered." - Ritu Narayan, Founder & CEO Zum

Powered by Zum’s Connected Mobility Experience (CMX™) SFUSD students, families, drivers, vehicles, charging infrastructure, and operations teams are connected into one fully integrated transportation platform.

Five years ago, SFUSD and Zum set out to modernize a system that had historically lacked real-time visibility, operational transparency, and the kind of experience families deserve. Today, we took that vision to the next level, launching a fully electric fleet of school buses in San Francisco. ⚡🚌

"With the deployment of this electric fleet and bidirectional charging infrastructure, SFUSD is taking another bold step forward — becoming home to the largest electric school bus deployment and largest bidirectional vehicle-to-grid school bus fleet in the nation." - Ritu Narayan, Founder & CEO Zum

From ranch life to the driver’s seat, Don Lake found a new purpose with Zūm — safely transporting students every day with care, dedication, and heart. 🚌

After years working on a ranch in Santa Barbara, Don traded mornings amongst the avocado trees for school bus routes, bringing the same work ethic and community spirit to families and students across the region. Stories like Don’s are a reminder that the people behind the wheel make all the difference.

Thank you, Don, for showing up every day and helping students start and end their day safely. 💙

Zum CMX goes beyond logistics—it’s about real lives. As Steve Ellis of TPG puts it: “You have to understand what this means at a human level to the parents, students, teachers, and school districts. There's an even bigger opportunity not just in taking 26 million kids, but learning how to harness the full power of data, the physical world, and the power of AI for what can be done on behalf of students, administrators, and drivers” - Steve Ellis of TPG

Marjorie Urbina has spent 25 years behind the wheel as a school bus driver. With Zum CMX, she’s experienced a dramatic shift in how she does her job—for the better.

“Bus drivers, we don't like to be late, we like to be on time. That is the biggest thing, being on time. With the app, parents can track my bus so it takes away all of that anxiety. I would never go back to the old system. In the past if we showed up to a house and the kids never came out, we would have to get off the bus and mark the curbside with a piece of chalk to prove that we had stopped there to pick up a child!”

— Marjorie Urbina, Zum Bus Driver and Trainer
