New York District Welcomes Hybrids At the end of April,
Fairport (N.Y.) Cen- tral School District received two new IC Bus Plug-in Hy- brid
Electric Vehicle (PHEV) school buses.
Fairport’s Superintendent Jon Hunter called the new buses the district’s latest step towards maximizing emerging technology to go green. Te buses have been in service since May, and Transpor-
tation Director Peter Lawrence estimated that the new buses will save the district up to 2,200 gallons of diesel fuel annually and re- duce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 39 percent. Te district was able to utilize a dual grant from the U.S. De-
partment of Energy and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and switched out two older buses for the new hybrids. Te grants purchased a total of 44 buses for 11 school districts throughout the state. Te additional bus ran the gamut of plug-in hybrids, charge-depleting hybrids, propane- powered school buses and CNG school buses.
Looking to EPA to Lead the Charge Against Asthma According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 13 million school days are missed each year due to asthma. Doctors and advocacy groups were looking to the En- vironmental Protection Agency to keep its promise to improve health in schools. Barbara Gottlieb, director of environment and health at Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Sarah Hodgdon, the director of conservation at the Sierra Club, recently called upon the EPA to follow through on its long-delayed commit- ment to set a new standard to reduce smog. A recent report from the Union of Concerned Scientists, titled “Climate Change and
Your Health: Rising Temperatures, Worsening Ozone Pollution,” found that climate change-induced ozone increases could result in 944,000 additional missed school days in the United States by the year 2020. May was Asthma Awareness Month, which was capped off with the National Asthma Forum in early June, a meeting that provides health care providers, health plan and health department administrators, members of community asth- ma coalitions, researchers and policy makers the opportunity to discuss the necessary changes that need to be made to improve air quality and reduce the risks associated with asthma.
