A resolution affirming that the Federal Government should support school district investment in clean school buses.

This Senate Resolution declares that the Federal Government should support school district investment in clean school buses . It emphasizes that diesel exhaust from current school buses is a significant source of local air pollution, including fine particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, which poses substantial health risks to children due to their developing lungs. The resolution notes that air pollution from these buses can degrade classroom air quality and lead to missed school days, negatively impacting children's education. Replacing diesel buses with clean alternatives, such as electric school buses , would dramatically reduce pollution and improve health and educational attainment. Congress has historically provided bipartisan funding for such replacements, including through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
