Zūm, the modern student transportation platform, announced today that Oakland Unified School District will be the first major school district in the U.S. to transition to a 100% electrified school bus system with groundbreaking vehicle-to-grid technology.
“We at Zum strongly believe it is time to move beyond pilots and deploy sustainability solutions at scale. Converting the Oakland Unified school bus fleet to 100% electric with VPP capability is the right step in that direction,” said Ritu Narayan, Founder and CEO of Zum.
Electrification of such a large fleet with V2G capabilities requires a vast ecosystem of partners. Federal and California State programs that have been critical to the acceleration of this project are: the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus program, California Air Resource Board , Heavy Vehicle Incentive Program vouchers, Bay Area Air Quality Management District and Clean Mobility Operations programs.
