Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) has entered into an agreement with Zūm, a transportation company owned by Indian-American Ritu Narayan.
Under this agreement KCPS students, families, drivers and school administrators will receive state-of-the-art service and peace of mind that comes from enhanced safety features, transparency and increased technology, a release by the company mentioned.
Expressing her view on the partnership Narayan said, “School transportation plays a significant role in children’s lives, and we are privileged to be partnering with Kansas City’s school community.”
“We look forward to working with them starting in the 2024-25 school year to deliver safe, efficient and more equitable service,” she added.
Dr. Jennifer Collier, superintendent of Kansas City public schools, praised Zum for its proven track record, enhanced communication and equity-focused decision making which will benefit students, families and drivers in Kansas City.
“We appreciate their commitment to safety, efficiency, transparency, and student-cantered approach, and are excited to partner with them,” she said.
Narayan founded Zūm in 2014 to fix student transportation problems and ensure the safety of kids. The organization claims to prioritize advanced safety features and family-focused service.
Through the company’s app, parents will be able to view a profile of their child’s bus driver, along with real-time tracking and notifications about their school bus location and their child’s pickup or dropoff status, the release highlighted.
The release further mentioned that Zum is the first and only 100% carbon neutral student transportation company in the US, and through its net zero Initiative, the company is leading in electric school bus conversion.
Thousands of schools across the country have partnered with Zum for school transportation, including Los Angeles unified school district, the second-largest district in the country, San Francisco unified school district, Seattle Public schools, Howard County public schools, Oakland Unified school district and Metro Nashville public schools.
