The transition to electric school buses is gaining momentum in the U.S., with significant investments from the EPA's Clean School Bus Program, which has allocated $5 billion to replace older, polluting buses. Electric buses are increasingly favored, with 92% of new purchases being electric in various districts. In California, new legislation mandates all school buses purchased after 2035 must be zero-emission, with ongoing deliveries of electric buses already underway. The push for electrification extends to fleet management, where resources are being developed to guide managers in transitioning to electric vehicles, highlighting substantial cost savings and efficiency. Pawan Kumar, a leader in this movement, emphasizes the importance of social equity in electrifying school transportation, securing over $60 million for underserved communities. His innovative approach, including vehicle-to-grid technology, aims to enhance sustainability and efficiency in school transport.
