Electric School Buses Deliver More Than Just a Clean Ride

Every day, millions of children ride to school in diesel buses that expose them to pollution linked to serious health issues. Replacing those buses with electric models has benefits that go far beyond a quieter ride and cleaner air.

Electric school buses can also save school districts and communities money, freeing up resources that can be reinvested back into the classroom. And, because electric school buses don't burn fossil fuels or emit dangerous greenhouse gases that trap heat in our atmosphere, they're much better for the climate, too.

Replacing old, diesel buses with electric alternatives can also bring manufacturing jobs to communities and cut down on electricity prices for consumers, while also supplying life-saving electricity during emergencies. They also bring benefits to underserved communities that have long borne the brunt of air pollution.
