The school district of Philadelphia plans on being the first school district in Pennsylvania to add all-electric school busses to its fleet. For the 2021-2022 school year the district will acquire five electric busses with plans to convert up to 20% of its fleet by 2026. Removing one diesel bus from its fleet will remove 23 tons of greenhouse gases per year. Funding for the busses is from the Diesel Admissions Reductions Act which funds grants and rebates to protect human health by reducing diesel emmissions.
I'm curious about the Diesel Admissions Reductions Act and if there is funding for electricfying sanitation trucks.
