It is imperative that the state take action to address diesel
exhaust from the thousands of buses serving thousands of schools
and running twice daily.  To ignore the tons of GHG emitted by
possibly the worst maintained (and probably oldest) fleet of
diesel vehicles in California is unconscionable.  

School buses, being located on residential streets as opposed to
freeways, are more visible than semi-truck traffic and more
omnipresent.  The valuable measures that ARB takes to curb GHG
will be more than offset by the continuing pollution observed from
school buses.  For the state to allow these obvious emissions from
school buses to continue unchecked would make a mockery of AB 32's
stated intention to reduce GHG.

The majority of jurisdictions, companies and private individuals
will be ready to do what they can to reduce GHG, but they need to
believe that California is serious and will set up reduction plans
for the worst offenders -- such as school transportation
districts.
