Access Atlas: How to Center Students with Disabilities in the Electric School Bus Transition
This resource offers step-by-step instructions and a set of advocacy and communications strategies for prioritizing accessibility in your electric school bus transition.
The electric school bus (ESB) transition has the potential to expand transportation equity for people with disabilities – or reinforce existing transportation barriers if done without proper care.
This disability-centric technical assistance resource offers school districts a guide to including students with disabilities in their transition to ESBs and improving access to safe, clean school transportation.
Section 1 provides instruction on deploying disability-inclusive practices, and Section 2 highlights advocacy and communication actions. This resource is for superintendents, school board members, transportation directors, fleet operators, bus drivers, monitors, paraprofessionals, mechanics, teachers, caregivers and students seeking to create and sustain equitable school transportation.
