Comment:
It is imperative that the state take action to address diesel exhaust from the thousands of buses serving thousands of schools and running twice daily. To ignore the tons of GHG emitted by possibly the worst maintained (and probably oldest) fleet of diesel vehicles in California is unconscionable. School buses, being located on residential streets as opposed to freeways, are more visible than semi-truck traffic and more omnipresent. The valuable measures that ARB takes to curb GHG will be more than offset by the continuing pollution observed from school buses. For the state to allow these obvious emissions from school buses to continue unchecked would make a mockery of AB 32's stated intention to reduce GHG. The majority of jurisdictions, companies and private individuals will be ready to do what they can to reduce GHG, but they need to believe that California is serious and will set up reduction plans for the worst offenders -- such as school transportation districts.
