The
goal of Clean School Bus USA is to reduce both children's exposure
to diesel exhaust and the amount of air pollution created by diesel
school buses.
- 24 million children ride the school bus every day.
- On average, students spend an hour and a half each weekday in
a school bus.
- School buses drive more than 4 billion miles each year.
School buses are the safest way for children to get to school.
However, pollution from diesel vehicles has health implications
for everyone, especially children. By working together, we can reduce
pollution from public school buses making sure that school buses
are also a very clean way for children to get to school. Clean School
Bus USA brings together partners from business, education, transportation,
and public health organizations to work toward these goals:
