The Clean Commute for Kids Act was introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives yesterday in a push to protect children’s health and lower fossil fuel emissions. Under the bill, country-wide school buses would transition to all-electric fleets by 2030.
Sponsored by Sen. Alex Padilla of California, Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Rep. Jahana Hayes of Connecticut and Rep. Tony Cárdenas of California, the bill “would invest $25 billion over 10 years to help nearly half of the nation’s school districts upgrade to zero-emission electric bus fleets,” according to a press release.
