Bonita Unified School district applied for funding under the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program to construct a compressed natural gas fueling station for its bus fleet. The school district is committed to greening its fleet of 24 school buses and has purchased 11 natural gas buses. Without a fueling station on site, the school district has to travel to several different fueling stations over 10 miles away that are also used by waste hauling and transit requiring long, causing costly waits. This project will ensure adequate, cost-effective fueling with equipment that is reliable, easy to maintain, efficient, and will meet the school district's future interest in increasing its capacity to replace the remaining diesel buses to natural gas. Bonita Unified School District is committed to continue to use compressed natural gas and improving local and regional air quality.
