Dear John,
Right now, a bipartisan group of senators is working on legislation to invest in America’s infrastructure, including electric school buses. But some are suggesting funding dirty diesel school buses that would pollute for years to come. Diesel bus fumes harm children's lung development, contribute to asthma, and cause missed school days.
We need robust funding for 100% pollution-free, electric school buses in the bipartisan infrastructure agreement. Tell your Senator to oppose funding for dirty, diesel school buses in the infrastructure agreement.

Significant federal support for electric school buses is required to help our children breathe cleaner air while fighting climate change. An investment in safe, zero-emission transportation for our kids is an investment in the future of our communities.
This bipartisan bill should only include robust funding for electric school buses and the necessary charging infrastructure. This is no place to provide federal funding for fossil fuel powered school buses. The time is short-we must ACT NOW to ensure a clean ride for kids.
Thank you for your support.
