school buses

At a local elementary school on Tuesday, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich announced a $7 million federal investment in electric buses and charging stations for Albuquerque Public Schools.

The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to spend $5 billion dollars over the next five years to help school districts across the country purchase electric buses. In New Mexico, public health officials plan to push lawmakers in the upcoming legislative session for additional funds to help replace diesel school buses with electric vehicles.
