Harris Touts Seattle’s Clean Bus Program As Nearby City’s E-Fleet Is Inoperable
While in Seattle on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced a White House initiative to electrify the nation’s school buses. However, in nearby Kent, Wash., all three of the district’s electric school buses were out of service.
A source told The Post Millennial that the district “bought three electric school buses with the grants that were given out a couple of years ago. All three of those buses are out of service today because they cannot get parts for them. They also cannot be serviced by our district mechanics.” [bold, links added]
Another source said that many in the district have vowed to “never get electric buses again” because “electric buses are a bad idea. At least one of the buses had been out of service for eight months.”
