Electric school buses are being rolled out across the state. They’re still big and yellow, but they’re not loud and don’t smell like diesel fuel.
Wisconsin’s rural school districts are taking advantage of the Clean Bus Program which is replacing existing buses with zero or low-emission models.
Hear from one driver in Mondovi as he rolls out for the route home.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
