Liberty Public Schools earns Fleet Excellence Award
Liberty Public Schools, a 17-campus district outside of Kansas City, Missouri replaced aging diesel school buses with 10 propane models as part of its commitment to asset longevity, maintenance integrity and keeping taxpayer dollars in the classroom. With the addition of the new propane buses, the district’s maintenance shop earned the fleet excellence award, which is given by the state highway patrol to school districts that are excellent at maintaining their fleet. And, within the first year of operating the propane buses, the district saved $56,562 in fuel costs.
