Think Outside the Bus: School Buses in the Circular Economy-Educator Guide
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.
"Replacing just one diesel school bus with an electric school bus can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 54,000 pounds each year, improving health outcomes for children and communities."
Kevin Matthews - Head of Electrification, First Student
Where does Texas fit in?
- With 50,327 school buses, Texas has the largest fleet in the nation.
- 1.4 million, or 28% of Texas students are transported by school bus every day.

Jessica Keithan and Michelle Montague attended the MOVE America Conference in Austin in late September. We had a fantastic time chairing the Bus Transit stage on Day 1 and Jessica was honored to have the opportunity to speak in front of old and new colleagues. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again next time!
