School buses are a vital resource for 20 million kids across the country — but a ride to school often brings along a toxic passenger: diesel fuel exhaust. Diesel exhaust pollution is not only a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change, but also a known carcinogen linked to childhood asthma, negative cognitive impacts, and other health risks. That’s why the Bezos Earth Fund has partnered with World Resources Institute on a bold initiative to replace every diesel school bus in the U.S. with one that runs on electricity with zero emissions. Our goal is to completely electrify the nation’s school bus fleet.
