Zum Jockey Club Sustainability Actions

Launched electrified bus fleet

In 2024, Zum launched the nation’s first fully electrified school bus fleet in Oakland, California. The 74-bus Oakland fleet is also equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, enabling the buses to return energy to the local grid at scale and improve grid resilience during times of peak demand.

Received sustainability award

Zum was honored as “Highly Commended” in the Product Innovation category at the 2025 Reuters Global Sustainability Awards. The awards recognize companies that are “pioneering sustainable business models and advancing the transition towards a net-zero future.”

Uses route optimisation platform

Zum unifies parents, students, school administrators and drivers on a single personalized technology platform, enabling never-before achieved levels of visibility and data-backed accountability. Through the Zum app, parents can track their child’s ride to and from school in real time, see a profile of their child’s bus driver and be notified of their child’s pickup or dropoff status. Zum also allows administrators to optimize routes and provides staff with real-time data and performance reports.
