Industry experts and school transportation professionals share their experiences and insights on managing mixed-fuel fleets (diesel, propane, electric) for different use cases. Panelists will share how they take advantage of the benefits each fuel-type bus offers, and how they manage scheduling the right bus for the right route. As the industry pushes for alternative-fuel fleets, this panel discussion will provide real-life examples of how districts are managing the transition in a way that benefits students, drivers, and state and federal requirements.
