Vermont schools welcome electric buses

Members of the White River Valley Supervisory Union (WRVSU) in Vermont, and Student Transportation of America (STA), are celebrating the arrival of three electric buses, enhancing the district’s commitment to sustainability. The buses, funded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus Program, will replace higher emission vehicles and serve the Stockbridge, Sharon, and Newton school campuses. Rachel Lane, Vice President of Electrification & Sustainability at STA, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We love seeing advocacy and overall momentum grow for EV.” The integration of these electric vehicles is expected to be seamless, with local teams trained in EV processes and maintenance.
