Trump & DOGE must Stop this Federal WASTE!!!
McCain and Burnside both ordered the optional auxiliary diesel heater on the International brand electric vehicle buses due for delivery this year.
Grants will pay for the basic bus; districts will pay for optional upgrades to meet local conditions, including auxiliary heat, thicker insulation and automatic tire chains.
“We’re really lucky because we’re getting the grants,” Burnside said. “Outright buying electric instead of diesel would be unfeasible if had to come out of my budget.”
Depending on the options, the electric buses range from $389,000 to $455,000 each. A standard diesel bus costs $150,000 to $185,000.
RWC Group took the lead in submitting federal and state grant requests for 33 buses for a group of rural districts in order to meet the 15-bus minimum required by the grant.
