More kids are riding electric school buses this fall
Briefly

"More students than ever are headed to class in an electric school bus this fall as school districts race to take advantage of unprecedented government funding to replace their diesel fleets."
"Exhaust from diesel buses is linked to serious health and development conditions for children, especially in low-income communities, making the shift to electric buses crucial for improving kids' health."
"Electric school buses can act as giant batteries to store surplus energy when not in use, allowing cash-strapped districts to sell power back to the grid during peak demand."
"The Clean School Bus Program, administered by the EPA, has so far spent $2.8 billion to fund more than 8,000 electric school buses, with many more districts awaiting funding."
