Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC), in partnership with the World Resources Institute (WRI), is helping school districts in Missouri and Kansas explore the transition from diesel to electric school buses. Our Electric School Bus initiative equips school administrators, transportation directors, and fleet managers with the knowledge and tools they need to plan for electrification.
