Electric School Bus Initiative
Dataset of Electric School Bus Adoption in the United States
This dataset tracks electric school bus (ESB) adoption across the United States. It tracks the number of "committed" ESBs at the school district level, as well as details about individual buses, including the bus manufacturer and funding source(s). It also tracks when each ESB passed through the phases of the adoption process and the current phase of each bus. The dataset contains school district socio-economic characteristics, like poverty rates, racial composition and air pollution to enable wider analysis including whether the transition to ESBs is happening equitably.
This dataset is the result of new data collection by WRI’s Electric School Bus Initiative, and is sourced from hundreds of news articles, school district webpages, and other online sources. To the best of our knowledge, these data are up to date as of the time described in documentation packaged with each version. The data represent a snapshot in time, in a rapidly evolving space.
