Duarte rapidly deploys routes with Zūm

Serving over 3,800 pre-K to 12 students in Los Angeles, Duarte Unified School District sought more reliable, affordable and compassionate transportation services for its Special Education students.

With Zūm, the district was able to have routes created in a single day, rather than the typical multi-month wait of traditional bus contractors. Parents were able to follow their childrens’ rides in real-time via the Zūm app, reducing communication overhead for the district.

Results
  • Cost savings of 10%
  • Reduced number of yellow buses by 35% by using right-sized vehicles
  • Reduced route planning lead time
  • Improved experience for parents and students
  • Reduced communication overhead between district and parents
“I used to spend hours talking to parents. Now Zūm does it all, while saving us 10% on our spend for non-public school rides.”
