SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. -The Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD) was recently awarded $330,000 from the California Energy Commission to replace one of its aging diesel school buses with an electric bus. The new bus arrived in December and has been transporting students daily since then.
The Commission s School Bus Replacement Program offers funds to replace old diesel school buses in disadvantaged and low-income communities throughout California. This program helps schools embrace next-generation zero-emission vehicles and improve children’s health by reducing their exposure to transportation-related air pollution.
“We are thrilled to see further progress made toward the District’s net zero energy goals,” said LTUSD Superintendent Todd Cutler.
