Urging the Department of Education to develop a plan to transition school buses to electric to reduce emissions and improve student transportation.
The bill urges the Department of Education, in coordination with the Board of Education, to create a plan for transitioning school buses to electric to expand benefits seen in other places. These benefits include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy security, and providing mobile emergency power during disasters. The plan should also consider the financial savings and improved student attendance rates from using electric buses. The Department and Board are requested to submit a report with their findings and recommendations to the Legislature before the 2027 session.
