Event Description
Join the Alliance for Electric School Buses and WRI’s Electric School Bus Initiative on September 26th at 12:30pm ET for a discussion with school bus drivers who have made the transition to electric.
What have they learned? What’s different from driving diesel? What training on electric school buses is available to drivers? How can school districts ensure their team has the skills needed to go electric? And how can electric school buses attract talent to help solve the driver shortage?
We’ll discuss
these questions and more and share resources for helping your district get on board with
electric school buses. By registering for this event, you agree to subscribe and receive updates from WRI and the Alliance for Electric School Buses.
