Some Maryland school districts embracing idea of electric buses

School buses are nothing new in Maryland. What is new, however, is a rapid rise in the use of electric school buses – a rise that is expected to continue. Increasingly, state authorities are concerned that the pollution from traditional buses is a danger, in particular to the 650,000 thousand children who ride to school on diesel-powered fuel every day that needs to be curtailed. Two years ago, the state set goals of trimming greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2031.
