District plans annual bus replacements, applies for zero-emission extension while monitoring state timeline
Summary
The district will surplus and replace buses (four standard buses and one micro bus) as part of its regular replacement cycle and is applying for a state zero-emission bus extension to allow more time for planning and community communication.
District staff said the long-term bus-replacement program will continue with the planned surplus and replacement of four older buses and one micro bus. Mr. Bartlett told the board the district conducts this replacement annually and intends to replace the surplused vehicles with four standard buses and one micro bird bus.
He also said the district is applying for the state’s first of two zero-emission bus extensions to gain additional time for planning and community engagement as the state’s program evolves: "We're in the process of applying for that 1st of 2 2 year extensions." The extension is intended to give districts more time to evaluate technology and readiness. The board did not take separate action on the application during the meeting.
