reason his district plans to continue expanding their electric fleet. “Electrical costs are considered but the driving influ- ence is the overall efficiency and environmental benefits,” he said, adding that four electric bus charging stations will be included in a new transportation center. Three Rivers was among districts receiving the
state’s first batch of electric school buses in 2019, with the Volkswagen settlement covering 70 percent of the cost of its two Lion buses. Leonard said the district is “continuing to explore adding electric and alternate fuels buses to its fleet.” San Diego Unified, which currently has 13 electric buses and 451 diesels, aims to be zero-emissions by 2035. The district recently was awarded an EPA Clean School Bus grant to purchase 30 electric buses and charging infra- structure. “Electric and low-emission buses are a smart choice
for our school district,” Burciaga said, “to reduce our carbon footprint and save money on fuel and mainte- nance costs.” ●
