EPA Grant Means East Baton Rouge Schools Will Replace 30 Diesel Buses with Propane-Fueled Ones
The Advocate
The EPA is giving the East Baton Rouge Parish school system $773,000 to replace 30 of its diesel school buses over the next two years with more eco-friendly propane-powered buses. The school system learned in early October that it had won the grant, which is coming from the federal agency’s National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program. The grant was presented to the School Board on Thursday and the board is expected to approve it at its Nov. 7 meeting.
