Understanding the Economic and Environmental Benefits of Propane School Buses

When diesel school bus fleets are converted to cleaner energy options – like propane – the significant economic and environmental benefits are clear, making decarbonization more achievable and offering near-zero emissions without compromising the financial sustainability of school districts. In fact, through the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program to replace existing diesel school buses with zero- and low-emission models, $1 billion would fund 31,119 propane buses. The enhanced fleet would reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions by 8,284 metric tons per year and carbon dioxide emissions 164,730 metric tons per year, all significant increases versus using the same amount of funding for electric school buses.
