Reduce Emissions - Start With School Buses

I am writing to urge you to prioritize the passage of House Bill 1368 in the Senate. This legislation, which has already passed out of the House, represents a crucial step forward in addressing both climate change and public health concerns in our state. HB 1368, aimed at requiring zero emissions for school buses, is not only a matter of environmental sustainability but also a pressing issue of public health and equity. Diesel-powered school buses not only contribute to air pollution, but they also expose our children to harmful emissions, putting their health and well-being at risk. Transitioning to zero-emission school buses aligns with our shared values of promoting clean air, safeguarding the health of our children, and mitigating the impacts of climate change on future generations. We urge you to prioritize the passage of HB 1368 as a top priority climate change and public health measure. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We look forward to your leadership and support in championing HB 1368 in the Senate.
