Moving Forward Together Toward a Battery-Electric Future


Written by Jason Yan, Vice President of Sales, West Region & National Accounts As diesel school buses reach the end of their lifeline, many school districts are exploring battery-


electric options as a cleaner, healthier, and more cost-effective alternative. While there may be initial concerns around workforce readiness, safety, and driver experience, the transition to electric school buses brings a host of benefits—and we’re here to help guide you through it.


Will I need to find new trained and skilled personnel to operate and maintain these new electric buses? A successful shift to electric school buses does depend on a knowledgeable workforce, but that


doesn’t mean starting from scratch. At RIDE, we offer a tiered training program that covers everything from basic maintenance to advanced technical diagnostics, designed to support your team every step of the way.


We understand that each school district has unique needs, which is why we customize our support


to fit your specific requirements—whether through the RIDE customer service team or our network of authorized maintenance dealers. Our team is always just a phone call away, ready to guide you through the transition with a personalized experience.


How do electric school buses improve rider safety? Safety, especially battery safety, is our top priority. RIDE school buses are purpose-built and equipped


with lithium-iron phosphate battery technology offering a reliable and secure solution for student transportation.
