Electric school buses may yield significant health and climate benefits, cost savings

Replacing diesel school buses with electric school buses may yield up to $247,600 in climate and health benefits per individual bus, according to a new study. The researchers found that these benefits — including fewer greenhouse gas emissions and reduced rates of adult mortality and childhood asthma — and their associated savings are strongest in large cities and among fleets of old (2005 and before) buses.
