Show full summary
- Affirms federal backing for replacing diesel buses with clean alternatives, noting diesel exhaust emits fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Highlights children’s vulnerability: air pollution from diesel buses raises risks of asthma, heart and lung disease, can infiltrate school buildings, and contributes to missed school days that hurt learning.
- Makes no new programs or funding changes; it references past support such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act but does not authorize new appropriations or create new funding mechanisms.
