Trump Cuts May Dismantle The Clean School Bus Program

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Donald Trump intends to end the EPA’s $5 billion Clean School Bus Program, which aimed to transition school buses away from fossil fuels. McIntyre notes the environmental threat posed by diesel-powered buses and the lack of private sector interest in producing electric school buses without federal backing. If the program is dismantled, the electrification of school transportation could be delayed by years or even decades.
