Zūm is proud to provide the Santa Barbara Unified School District with safe, reliable transportation provided by our dedicated drivers.
We are grateful for the commitment our drivers show every day to students and families in this community.
THE ZUM DIFFERENCE
We respect and support our drivers’ legal right to choose whether they want union representation. At the same time, we believe our record speaks for itself: Zum drivers earn extremely competitive wages – along with exceptional benefits and career growth opportunities. This competitive package has made Zum the nation’s leading school transportation provider and has allowed us to attract and hire thousands of drivers who want to be part of our team. These new drivers are coming to Zum for a reason — they like the way Zum treats them, and know that they are valued.
GET THE FACTS ABOUT JOINING A UNION
Drivers on average will pay more than $80 every month to the Teamsters after a contract ratification.
Voting NO allows drivers to save nearly 1,000 in your pocket every year – not the union’s pocket.

Zum respects its drivers and pays them top industry wages and benefits
TESTIMONIALS
I love driving and being out on the road, rather than being stuck in the office. It feels like you’re your own boss. Going through the Zum training program to become a certified school bus driver prepared me very well for the job. I think joining Zum is a smart choice and a rewarding, stable future — not just a job, but a career.
