The Electric School Bus Series: How Austin's School Board Resolution Created a Path for Cleaner Rides for Kids
Austin ISD passed a resolution in September 2022 to transition its entire school bus fleet to electric by 2035, with a goal of 100% electric purchases by 2030. The initiative aligns with Austin's city-wide 2040 net-zero goal and is supported by a $2.4 billion bond, though the district faces funding challenges because electric buses cost three to four times more than diesel models. The district has started a pilot with three electric buses arriving in fall 2023.
