Electric School Bus
D65 received funding for one (1) electric school bus for our Head Start Program. To learn more, visit this Northwestern Now article.
D65 is continuing to apply for more grant opportunities to expand Electric School Buses.
Benefits of Electric School Buses:
- Zero tailpipe pollution -- students, drivers, and members of the community will be exposed to significantly less harmful diesel emissions like PM and NOX
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel school buses
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Quiet, clean operation
