How a local school district is keeping transportation costs steady as diesel prices rise
The price of diesel keeps going up to record levels, putting a strain on school districts that need the fuel to keep their school buses running.
AAA reports this month, diesel fuel in the Cincinnati area hit its highest average price on record: $6.79 per gallon. This time last year, a gallon of diesel was around $3.70. This has increased the cost of doing business in many industries, including local agriculture. For school districts that operate their own fleet, this can lead to dramatic changes in spending.
