California Cleaning Up School Bus Emissions on Diesel Engines

California school districts in the southcoast area are doing a major clean up on diesel engine buses in 13 school districts at the cost of 43 million dollars. They are going to start runniing them on compressed natural gas and propane.

This measure was implemented by the Air Quality Management District. Approxamately 176 newer buses will get particulate trapping devices as well at a cost of 3 million dollars. I'm impressed with the seriousness of the California Gov't to clean up the air but the expense is unbelievable.
