The Electric School Bus Moment is Here

1

The problem: Diesel exhaust pollution is too dangerous for kids.

Diesel currently powers more than 90% of school buses in the US, and its exhaust is linked to serious health and development conditions - with evidence suggesting young students are especially at-risk. And, due to a long-standing history of discriminatory policies, communities of color and low-income communities bear the brunt of on-road pollution in the U.S. and are more likely to depend on school bus transportation.

The opportunity: Electric school buses are the best, cleanest choice for our kids and our planet.

Electric school buses have no tailpipe emissions, making them the cleanest and healthiest school bus option. They account for the lowest levels of greenhouse gas emissions of any school bus type. And best of all, they're here today: electric school buses are on the road from coast-to-coast, covering rural, suburban and urban routes with thousands more expected to hit the road in coming years.

The answer: An equitable transition to electric school buses

That's why we're collaborating with partners and stakeholders across the country to provide the tools, information and resources needed to foster a rapid and equitable transition to electric school buses. That means ensuring that the communities most impacted by diesel exhaust pollution have access to the benefits of electric school buses first - and that communities affected by this transition are engaged throughout the process.
