SUMMARY:Webinar: Electric School Bus 101
DESCRIPTION:Electric School Buses (ESBs) are emerging as a cleaner\, healthier and more cost-effective way to transport students. But what do they mean for school districts in practice? \n\n\n\nIn this first webinar of our ESB Training Series\, Metropolitan Energy Center will explain what electric school buses are\, how they work and how they differ from diesel buses. Attendees will learn about the environmental and health benefits of ESBs\, potential cost savings\, common operational questions\, and available funding and support for Missouri districts interested in exploring adoption. \n\n\n\nThis session is ideal for transportation directors\, superintendents\, fleet managers\, maintenance staff and community members looking to start the conversation about electric school buses.
