The Lakewood Public School district, along with four others in the state, are the recipients of $19 million grant to help pay for environmentally-clean school buses.
Lakewood, along with Union City, Elizabeth, Newark, Bloomfield will share the grant which comes from the the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and will be used to purchase 42 new electric school buses and 28 bus chargers.
Of the 42 buses being purchased, the most, 14, will be used on Lakewood streets.
The EPA’s Clean School Bus Program was adopted under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provides an unprecedented $5 billion of funding to transform the nation’s fleet of school buses and funds electric buses, producing zero tailpipe emissions, as well as propane and compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, resulting in lower tailpipe emissions compared to their older diesel predecessors.
What buses will the other 4 towns get if, of the 42 buses, Lakewood gets 42???
42 buses are to be purchased with the grant.
19 are destined for Lakewood.
42-19=x
Solve for x to learn how many buses will go to the remaining four locales combined.
Perhaps you may want to take a ride on one of these buses to any of the elementary schools in where they teach reading comprehension.
Lkwd gets 14!
Thank you for correcting the number of buses Lakewood will get.
What plans does the Lakewood Fire Department have in case of a batter fire, CV”S?
With 14 free buses and no gas required that should bring costs down. Will LSTA now lower their exorbitant ask price of $340 per child ?
