school board voted unanimously to transition their school bus fleet to all electric buses by 2035. This makes them the first district in Texas to make such commitment.Advocacy organization, Environment Texas, along with local leaders and concerned Austin ISD parents wrote a letter to the school board encouraging them to commit to 100% electric school buses for the district.
The Executive Director for Environment Texas said although the zero-emission school buses are more expensive upfront, they should help save the district money in the long run. "Instead of it being like is this too expensive, how much is this going to cost, more like this is an investment we are going to make in our future, and it’s not only a physical tangible investment, it’s worth the lesson," Austin ISD parent Stephanie Carter said."They have better air quality, and it’s good for the environment, and it teaches the kids about how we can address big problems that are faced in society," Carter said.
