The Importance of Clean School Transportation

The Importance of Clean School Transportation

(Family Features) Across the country, more than 25 million children ride to school each day in school buses, most of which are powered by diesel and produce harmful emissions known to cause respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis.

An alternative energy source, like propane, can provide children with a safe, clean and healthy ride to school. As an environmentally friendly and affordable energy source that is abundantly available, propane can help achieve a cleaner today and greener tomorrow for students.

Consider these reasons it’s important to clean up student transportation from the experts at the Propane Education & Research Council:

• Propane reduces emissions in exhaust that negatively impact air quality by up to 96% compared to diesel.
• Propane school buses provide a quieter ride than diesel buses, which means it’s easier for drivers to hear potential concerns and students arrive at school calmer and ready to learn.
• Propane warms up quickly, providing a heated cabin for a comfortable ride during colder months.
• Propane is affordable, allowing school districts to replace aging diesel buses three times faster than transitioning to an electric bus fleet.
