•       You do not need to register your student for a route. Our Transportation team sets up your student’s transportation based on their IEP. There is no route signup and no deadline for your family.

•       The Hub Model does not apply to your student. The hub stops and registration steps in this document are for general education students only.

•       We do encourage you to set up the Zūm parent app. New this year, Zūm provides Special Education transportation, and the same app works for your family. Your parent account lets you see your student’s route, track the bus, see when the bus will arrive, and receive ride notifications. For app help, call Zūm Support at 1-855-743-3986.

•       Questions? Call FUSD Transportation’s Special Education line at (559) 457-3220. Zūm operates Special Education buses under contract with Fresno Unified, and our Transportation team manages that service — we are always your point of contact.

All General Education students who ride the bus need a Zūm bus pass.

1.       Visit the registration link here or on the district Transportation page (fresnounified.org/departments/transportation).

2.       You will need your students’ ID and their date of birth. The information you enter must match your student record in ATLAS.

3.       Select your student’s hub bus stop and complete registration.

4.       You will receive a confirmation email with instructions for downloading the parent app. The app lets you track your student's bus in real time, view estimated arrival times, and receive ride notifications. We encourage every family to set it up before the first day of service. You may want to contact your school site to make sure your email is up to date in ATLAS.

Zūm uses your student’s information directly from ATLAS, Fresno Unified’s student information system. To log in, what you enter must match what’s on file.

•      If your information is out of date (an old address or phone number, for example), contact your student’s school site front office to update it in ATLAS. Transportation and Zūm cannot make these corrections — they must be made at the school.

•      Once your information matches, you’ll be able to log in.

We understand that moving from a neighborhood stop to a hub is a real change, and for some families the hub location raises genuine challenges. Here’s what we want you to know:

•      Register anyway — it’s the most important thing you can do. Bus stops are being finalized using summer registration data, and additional stops can be added where ridership shows the need. If your family doesn’t register, your student isn’t counted — and the need in your area stays invisible. Registering is not accepting the stop as-is; it’s how your situation gets seen.

•      Routes and stops will continue to be evaluated after school begins based on actual ridership, registration patterns, and family feedback.

If there is room on the bus, Edison students can ride the morning Computech bus with a sibling, since the timing works to get everyone to school on time. Edison dismisses later than Computech, so this applies to the morning route only — in the afternoon, each student still rides their own bus home. Submit a Let's Talk request at https://www.fresnounified.org/departments/transportation/contact-us — with both students' names and ID numbers and the morning route you're requesting, and we'll get it added.

Bus passes are created from your student’s Zūm registration — so the first step is making sure your student is registered.

•      Register now. Once a large group of students is registered, the first batch of bus passes will be printed and sent to school sites.

•      Passes are handed out at school. Your student will receive their bus pass at their school site — there’s nothing extra you need to do or pick up.

•      Registered later? No problem — passes continue to be printed and sent to schools on an ongoing basis.

•      Key date: students can ride while passes are being handed out during the first weeks of school. Starting September 28, 2026, students must show a bus pass to board — registering early means your student’s pass is in hand well before then.

Students who are registered but forget their pass can use the driver's tablet to easily sign in and out of the bus.

There is a grace period, so students will not need their bus pass to ride at the start of the school year. However, students do need to be registered by September 28.
