 CCSD Transportation goes "GREEN"
CCSD Transportation is proud to announce the delivery of a brand new Thomas Built, Hybrid School Bus. This is only the second hybrid school bus built by Thomas to be put in service in the United States. It was made possible with funding from NDOT and the Sierra Club. The "Green" technology is new to our fleet and the bus colors speak for themselves!

1st Place Winner - Transportation Efficiency and Innovations
A $200,000 Clean School Bus grant provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency helped fuel CCSD to clean up tailpipe emissions. The emissions reduction project combined with the Biodiesel program that CCSD has implemented for over seven years makes the CCSD bus fleet one of the cleanest in the country.
The Clark County School District (CCSD) has implemented a two fold effort to reduce pollutants in and around its school buses, thereby creating a healthier and safer environment for its students. The initial program which consisted of the introduction of Biodiesel as the primary fuel for the school buses began in 2001 and continues today. |
