In collaboration with partners and communities, WRI’s Electric School Bus Initiative aims to build unstoppable momentum toward an equitable transition of the U.S. school bus fleet to electric by 2030, bringing health, climate and economic benefits to children and families across the country and normalizing electric mobility for an entire generation. The Electric School Bus Series shows how superintendents and fleet managers have tackled these challenges in their own communities.
Ten years ago, Knox County R-I School District in Missouri embarked on a journey to distinguish their schools as part of an effort to attract and retain students and families.
Beginning in late 2019, Stockton Unified School District began a partnership to electrify its bus fleet to help address the district's high pollution burden and rates of poverty.
