ZUM
This school year, Washoe County School District (WCSD) is introducing Züm Transportation, a new transportation platform designed to give families greater visibility into their student's bus ride experience.
With the Züm app, we’re committed to improving transparency, reliability, and convenience for WCSD families. This partnership supports WCSD’s ongoing mission to provide safe, reliable, and on-time transportation for students and families. Click here to check your child's transportation eligibility.
Elementary and middle school students will be issued RFID bus passes that they will use to scan on and off the bus each day. High school students will have the option to either request an RFID bus pass or use the Züm - Riders app on their smartphone. Bus passes can be requested through the Transportation Department at 775-337-7769.
With the Züm App, you will be able to:
- View your student’s school bus assignment
- See your student’s rides in real time and receive alerts when the school bus is arriving
- Receive alerts in the case of delays or any other ride issues
- Cancel your student’s rides on any days they don’t need the school bus
- And much more!
What to expect:
- Washoe County Schools and Züm will be reaching out to you by the last week of July to share your student’s bus assignment.
- You will be able to use the Züm app to view your student’s bus rides when the 2026-27 School Year starts.
