March 15 Meeting- School Districts Transitioning from Diesel to Electric School Buses with Dana Cruikshank, Beverly School District

On Monday, March 15 @7:00 pm Cape Ann Climate Coalition (CACC) will hold its fourth Zoom meeting about electric buses titled: “Beverly School District Transitions to Electric School Buses” to discuss the advantages and challenges associated with switching school bus fleets from diesel to electric. Given that the transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions, it is critical that we tackle the electrification of buses, cars, and trucks now. Everyone is invited to this free event.

Our neighbors on the North Shore have begun adding EV buses to their school bus fleet, and we invited Dana Cruikshank, the Transportation Director for the Beverly School District, to share the experiences his school district has had as it transitions from diesel to electric school buses using Highland Electric Transportation.  As the school personnel in charge of making this switch, he will give us vital information from his first-hand experience.

Cape Ann Climate Coalition is holding meetings to inform and educate our community about electric buses and offer solutions to reduce Cape Ann’s greenhouse gas emissions. The goal is to switch to renewable energy as soon as possible. Transportation accounts for 28% of greenhouse gases in the U.S. (Source: EPA)
