schoolbus -- The Lower-Emission School Bus Program – Replacement Bus Emission Criteria – Effective January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015

Posted: 30 Jan 2015 14:33:54
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has posted Mail-Out #MSC
15-01, titled “The Lower-Emission School Bus Program –
Replacement Bus Emission Criteria – Effective January 1, 2015 to
December 31, 2015.”   ARB staff has reviewed Executive Orders for
2015 model year school bus engines and determined that new school
buses that meet the 0.20 g/bhp-hr NOx emission standard are
readily available to purchase from the three school bus vendors
in California.  Therefore, ARB is adjusting the NOx emission
criterion.  The maximum emission criteria for contracts executed
through calendar year 2015 are 0.20 g/bhp-hr NOx and 0.01
g/bhp-hr particulate matter.  

The Mail-Out may be found on ARB’s webpage at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/bonds/schoolbus/advisory/advisory.htm .

If you have questions regarding this Mail-Out, please contact Ms.
Kimya Lambert, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323-2507, or
via email at kimya.lambert@arb.ca.gov .

Background:

The primary goal of ARB's Lower-Emission School Bus Program is to
reduce school children's exposure to both cancer-causing and
smog-forming pollution.  The program provides grant funding for
new, safer school buses and to put air pollution control
equipment (i.e., retrofit devices) on buses that are already on
the road.
