Zum Presents Safeguard Driver Program With Unmatched Safety Standards And Training

Fremont, CA: Zum, pioneer in contemporary student transportation, is raising the safety bar on student transportation by introducing SafeGuard, its safety tech, driver training, and certificate course. The thorough program maintains the quality and experience of each Zum driver, equips drivers with the knowledge to provide the greatest experience possible to each student on every journey, and gives drivers access to Zum's cutting-edge technological platform. In addition, the improved training curriculum of the program will increase driver safety and performance, provide specialized training for transportation workers, and deploy new vehicle safety technologies.

Zum's service employs the best vehicle on every route, including buses, vans, and automobiles. All drivers must fulfill or exceed the safety criteria for the vehicle they would be driving and any other state and district-specific regulations.

"Zum's secret sauce to providing superior safety and service for students is pairing passionate and skilled student transportation professionals with the support of advanced training and modern technology," said Ritu Narayan, CEO, and founder of Zum. "The introduction of our SafeGuard program demonstrates our commitment to going above and beyond the industry standard to provide a safe and positive experience for students and drivers."

Zum offers a 360-degree approach, ensuring that student safety and well-being are prioritized before, during, and after each trip. The SafeGuard program uses vehicle safety technologies to guarantee that all drivers are instructed on and expected to follow particular safety standards when picking up or dropping off kids and driving. It further includes the introduction of a new pre-trip and post-trip Daily Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) that requires drivers to submit electronic reports confirming the safety of their vehicle before and after the ride and ensures that any vehicle in need of urgent repair is removed from service.
