REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zūm, the leader in modern student transportation, today released its first annual commissioned survey, the Student Transportation Report Card: A Parental Review, which found that when it comes to the school bus system, parents in America are most concerned about their child's safety during a ride (34%), followed by COVID-19 infections (18%) and the lack of tracking and visibility (10%). At a time when transparency and agility rule the day in other industries, school busing has been slow to modernize. The majority of respondents (64%) agree that today's school bus system is antiquated and in need of technical advancements to make it safer, more efficient, and better for the environment.

  • Yet, they still have little to no visibility into the school bus ride their children take five days a week.
  • In addition to their child's safety during a ride topping the list of parents' concerns about the school bus system, according to the research, parents worry about their child's experience on the bus, with 41% of respondents saying they were most concerned about bullying and fighting.
  • Additionally, parents are still reeling from the pandemic, with nearly half (48%) of respondents noting that they are very or extremely concerned about COVID-19 infection and spread on school buses.
  • To improve on school transportation's sustainability efforts, more than half (54%) of respondents agree that electric vehicles and electric school buses should replace diesel-polluting school buses.
