I confess I have bought into lots of myths in my lifetime. For example, in 2008 as a transportation options geek I thought that replacing car trips with bike and bus trips was the most powerful way to reduce emissions (I was unaware of electric back then).
It’s easy to focus on electric school buses (ESBs). They’re big, photogenic, courteously quiet, and emit no bad smells. They command the floor space of the shows we go to like kings and queens.
The first round of the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program Funding is complete, and the second round is coming up soon in February/March 2023. This funding can exclude large inner-city schools based on current policy.
