Adopt-A-School Bus Schools

---

Adopt-A-School Bus Benefits to Schools:

• The Alamo Area Adopt-A-School Bus program's primary goal is to replace old diesel buses (1996 and older) with new, cleaner, buses.
  
  
• Funding will be available to match a school district’s bus replacement budget. We will have a selection process to effectively distribute funding.
  
  
• Grant money awarded through the program may be combined with other funding sources such as Department of Energy (DOE) alternative-fuel funds.
  
  
• The program provides support for new infrastructure costs and a one-time alternative fuel cost offset.
  
  
• The program rewards those school districts that have already invested in infrastructure to support alternative fuels.
  
  
• This multi-year program follows the school fiscal year calendar, thus allowing for school districts to budget their bus purchases over time.
  
  
• Adopt-A-School Bus staff provides personal attention through educational programs provided for students (i.e. Green Patrol)
  
  
• The program helps provide a healthier environment for students traveling to and from school. Healthier children have fewer absences, which means more attentive learners for the teacher.
