First Student welcomes the bipartisan introduction of legislation to reauthorize the Clean School Bus Program and appreciates Rep. Greg Landsman’s leadership as a lead co-sponsor as well as the other members of the House and Senate. 🚍⚡🌎 As the program’s largest recipient of funding, First Student has seen firsthand its importance in helping bring zero-emission school buses to our customers students and communities we serve. Continued bipartisan support for this program is important to helping school districts and communities access funding for cleaner school bus technologies, including electric school buses. The Clean School Bus Program has demonstrated strong interest from school districts and transportation providers nationwide. Reauthorizing the program will help preserve a pathway for Congress to continue supporting school bus electrification, giving districts greater flexibility to plan for their students’ transportation needs and pursue solutions that can deliver long-term operational, health and community benefits. As a company headquartered in Greater Cincinnati and serving school districts across the country, First Student values Rep. Landsman’s commitment to students, local communities and the continued advancement of sustainable student transportation. Read more⬇️: https://lnkd.in/gPpFQiM3
