Case Study: Duarte Unified School District saves time and money with Zum

Duarte Unified School District switches to right-size vehicles to save time and money

Duarte Unified School District sought a more reliable and affordable student transportation solution for its special education students, moving away from its long history with traditional yellow bus companies. The district partnered with Zum for its transportation services to address challenges with route planning and communication.

Zum implemented its technology to rapidly create routes and used right-sized vehicles for the district. This resulted in a 10% cost savings and a 35% reduction in the number of yellow buses used. The solution drastically reduced route planning lead time and communication overhead, providing an improved experience for parents and students through real-time ride tracking.
