“When we begin the second half of this school year, 53% of our daily crank buses (which translates to 402 buses) will be powered by an alternative and clean propane fuel.”Īccording to Ham, it takes 100 propane-powered buses to emit the same amount of nitrogen oxide in the atmosphere as one older diesel-powered bus. “FCS is not only safety conscious with our bus driver training, but we are also the first propane-powered school bus fleet to add three-point seat belts on all bus purchases since 2017,” says Sam Ham, executive director of Transportation. To put this in perspective, each school day Fulton County school buses travel the same distance as going around the Earth twice. Annually, the 1,600 routes equate to more than 10 million miles.
