Outcomes:
The anticipated deliverables include replacement of older diesel fueled buses with cleaner new electric school buses, thus, reducing the harmful criteria pollutants and green house gases, and also saving fuel cost and dependence on fossils fuels for the serving school districts. Immediate output will be replacing 35 older buses with new electric buses and installation of 23 Level 3 fast charging stations. Long term outputs will include cleaner air and healthier air for school children, capacity building in EV technology. The expected outcomes include reduction in idling times, new workforce development around electric vehicle technology, significant reduction of key pollutants over the lifetime of the vehicle, public input and awareness in electric vehicle infrastructure. The intended beneficiaries include school children in the affected areas, reduction in emissions in the two attainment zones near St. Louis area, capacity and knowledge building on electric infrastructure, community surrounding the school district benefits from overall cleaner air.
