Last fall, the Highline School District added state-of-the-art electric school buses to its fleet as part of a $1 billion federal program from the Environmental Protection Agency. FOX13
The Environmental Protection Agency's Clean School Bus Program is designed to reduce exposure to harmful diesel fumes and exhaust, and to be cleaner on the environment in general. "Less carbon will be going on, less emissions being used, and it will also help our students with any kind of needs," said Theo White, a school bus dispatcher and driver with the district. "This is going to be great for the community.
The average diesel school bus costs about $165,000, but the cost of an electric bus is around $400,000. The buses have other benefits that reduce their pollution footprint, like having pre-school-sized seats, which means fewer buses on the road and fewer overall trips.
