Transportation

Summary of change factors:

Alternative fuel school buses

The J-D school district currently uses diesel and gasoline fueled school buses.

• The total bus fleet numbers 47 buses.
• Approximately 3,000 students are transported daily, on average.
• The transportation department traveled approximately 500,000

miles last year.

• The average miles per gallon is approximately 9 MPG.
• The current life expectancy of a school bus is 10-12 years.

Predictability and reliability are critical to the success

• f student transportation.

Transportation Department Thoughts

• Safety concerns over the use of flammable propane or high voltage, related to the
• ngoing maintenance of these buses
• Concerns over the cost of ongoing maintenance exceeding cost savings on fuel
• Safety concerns over the storage of propane on school property in proximity to a

school building and a residential neighborhood

• Time to fuel/recharge buses and the operational range of both propane and electric

buses

• The maintenance of alternative fuel buses would require re-training and/or

additional hires of mechanics

• Concern about shorter life expectancy as well as reliability with alternative fuel buses
• Replacement budget of approx. $500,000 each year would only be enough to

purchase one electric bus

Administrative Recommendation

Due to the uncertainty over cost savings, concerns related to the

• ngoing maintenance costs, safety concerns and the operation and

efficiency of alternative fuel buses, it is recommended that we continue with diesel and gasoline fueled buses at this time. District currently has both diesel and gasoline fuels in pumps on site. As electric powered technology evolves over time and the cost of

• perating propane fueled buses becomes clearer, we can further

explore these options.
