In all, the STN EXPO touts more than 50 workshops and training sessions, including those in the new Green Bus Summit track. Launched last year as a one-day symposium, GBS offers discussions on such topics as the aforementioned propane overview as well as how to calculate fleet greenhouse gas emissions, green tools for fleets, green certification for shops, cost savings of alt-fuel investments, case studies of districts that have transitioned to alternative fuels, and an introduction to renewable diesel. Also new this year is the STN EXPO Ride &
Drive, which offers attendees eight hours over two days—July 26 and July 27—to get behind the wheel of the latest school buses and give them as well as new technology a spin. l
