Local school districts may replace dirty diesel buses faster than anticipated with the help of federal grants and state funding, providing a measurable improvement in air quality. Some of the 145 school buses that transport kids in both Cache County and Logan City school districts are 25 years old. Transportation Supervisor Wayne Reese, who oversees the coordinated school bus service, said replacing these buses with newer models means cleaner air and cost savings over the life of the vehicles.
