WILSON SCHOOL DISTRICT TRANSITIONS BUS FLEET TO PROPANE POWER
Berks Weekly
The Wilson School District celebrated the arrival of seven new propane-powered bus last month with plans to convert its entire 63-vehicle fleet in the coming years. Randy S. Williams, the district’s transportation director, says that the new buses will cost about 13 cents per mile to operate, compared to 20 cents per mile for diesel. Williams also notes the propane-powered buses generate far less pollution than diesel, quieter, and are more efficient to maintain.
