Legislation that was introduced in December would require all school buses statewide to operate with electric power by 2040. There are currently 3,000 school buses in operation statewide.

The bill does not specify the funding source

“We look forward to realizing this effort through more fully-developed partnerships,”

Pat Hinckley, the transportation and facilities administrator at the Maine Department of Education.
