Electric School Buses
The dashboard displays electric school bus data at the district level, showing both the number of electric school buses and the total number of school buses in the district. Diesel school buses expose children to harmful air pollution. Electric buses eliminate tailpipe emissions and protect children's health, especially those with asthma. The share of electric buses in a district is one of the environmental indicators used to calculate the Green Grade. If the number of electric buses is low, there may be opportunities to advocate for electric bus adoption using federal or state funding programs.
