Zum and Oakland Unified School District introduce the first 100% electric school bus fleet in the U.S., equipped with bidirectional chargers for grid support. This groundbreaking initiative aims to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and enhance grid resilience, setting a precedent for sustainable student transportation nationwide.
Zum cites the goal of modernizing student transportation services as it continues growing throughout the United States, pursuing safer, greener, and more efficient transportation.
Santa Barbara Unified School District awarded the school transportation provider a $30-million, five-year contract.
The investment is expected to help the company boost deployment of AI technology and electrification for a greener school transportation future.
The enhancements are intended to ensure safe, transparent, state-of-the-art rides for students and families.
Safety, efficiency, and environmental impact lead concerns going into the 2023-24 school year.
Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, Zum will contract with the Howard County Public School System to provide 250 school buses.
