Shawnee Public Schools is getting national attention ๐ฅ
This past weekend, PBSโs MotorWeek featured a segment on Shawneeโs deployment of electric school busesโhighlighting innovative efforts happening right here in our region.
The segment includes interviews with Shawnee Public Schools Transportation Director John Wiles and ACOG Air Quality & Clean Cities Planner @DavidFrick, and showcases the leadership of the Shawnee Public Schools team in bringing this project to life.
A big thank you to Shawnee Public Schools for working with the production team on a great feature, and to the DOE-funded Clean Cities program staff at the National Lab of the Rockies for helping make this national spotlight possible.
Watch the segment here (story begins around the 7:00 mark):

Did you know it costs 9% less to own a fleet of electric vehicles than gas cars? ๐ ๐
It also reduces climate pollution + makes our air cleaner.
