4 Reasons I Chose Propane Autogas Buses as a School District Transportation Director
Before joining the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), I spent three and a half years as transportation director of Bethel School District in Washington. Located about 15 miles south of Tacoma and bordering Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Bethel School District is 202 square miles in size and serves a mix of rapidly growing urban, suburban, and rural communities.
When I joined the transportation department, the fleet was using 160 diesel and gasoline school buses, but diesel was becoming less and less viable. With increased regulations and complex emissions systems, there were additional strains on our maintenance budgets.
