Ritu Narayan's Book on Student Mobility Hits Amazon #1
Every day, 26 million students depend on the school bus to access their classrooms, yet the infrastructure supporting them remains largely outdated. Ritu Narayan, CEO of Zum, argues in her new bestseller, The Most Important Commute, that fixing this fragmented system is not merely a logistical challenge, but an educational priority.
Dr. Jennifer Collier, Superintendent of Kansas City Public Schools, credits the company’s tech-driven approach with providing significant stability for her district. Currently, Zum operates in 6,500 schools across 19 states, utilizing its CMX platform to replace traditional, siloed transportation methods with a unified, data-informed system. By elevating student mobility to a central topic in education discourse, Narayan’s work signals a shift in how administrators view the critical hours before the first bell rings.
