Show Notes
Connecticuts DOT seeks to end diesel bus ban, proposing a bill that allows diesel purchases while aiming for 30% zero-emission fleet by 2030. Facing a nationwide shortage of electric buses and long wait times, the agency struggles to replace old buses and maintain smooth routes. Environmental advocates argue against diesel, pushing for other solutions and criticizing past electrification efforts. The bill also relaxes school bus rules, reducing the zero-emission mandate from 100% to 90% with extended timelines for poorer districts.
