I’m hoping that one or more school districts in Oregon will be joining the several dozen districts, spread all over the nation, already running one or more electric school buses.

CTE’s International ZEB Conference September 26-27 in San Francisco is exciting by external measures.

Just to be clear: I love school buses and pupil transportation. In fact, let me count the ways!

Electric buses are disruptive. I advocate for them because they slash the emissions that drive both climate change and increased cancer rates.

I love living in Oregon (30 years now) but I can’t pretend we are early adopters of electric buses.

If you have concerns, maybe even doubts, about the practicality of changing from diesel to electric school buses, I don’t think you’re alone.

Whether I’ve known you for years or met you more recently, we share an interest in public transit and its future.
