Electric School Bus Tools & Resources
Electrify your school bus fleet with confidence.
"NYCSBUS has been operating electric school buses since September 2023 from a number of manufacturers and they are terrific. Quiet, easy to drive, reliable, plenty of AC in NYC's humid summers, heat works great in the winter. Our drivers love driving them and the parents and kids like being part of the future."
-Matt, CEO
NYC School Bus Umbrella Services (NYCSBUS)
This is an exciting time to be in the transportation industry. We are seeing many new technologies being added to enhance the school bus experience for drivers and students. The Electric School Bus comes with its learning curve but its benefits can be seen by drivers, students and community members."
