why are electric school buses important?

  • More than 95% of school buses in the United States run on diesel fuel. 
  • Diesel exhaust is not only a known carcinogen, it is also linked to serious physical health issues such as asthma and heart disease. 
  • Exposure to diesel exhaust can also have serious cognitive development impacts.
  • Children are especially at risk.
