Boston Public Schools Put First 20 Blue Bird Electric Buses Into Operation
through the dealership Anderson Blue Bird Bus Sales of New England. The ground-breaking pilot initiative is the largest deployment of electric school buses in the Northeast, according to school administrators and local government authorities. The switch to electric school buses was backed by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and will help BPS in lowering harmful greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing student and community health.
Over 2,500 kids are now securely and consistently being transported by Blue Bird’s zero-emission buses to and from 42 schools in the area each day. “Our students enjoy riding on our new electric buses. They love the quiet drive. We all love that our students, drivers and school staff are not being exposed to any exhaust fumes generated by traditional, diesel-powered buses. In addition, our bus drivers have had positive feedback about vehicle performance,” said Jackie Hayes, Assistant Director of Contract Operations and Fleet for Boston Public Schools.
With a fleet of roughly 750 buses, about a third of which are diesel-powered, Boston Public Schools has relied on Anderson Blue Bird Bus Sales of New England for more than 10 years to help with student transportation needs. That’s why the school district purchased the electric buses from Anderson for its pilot program.
