WEBINAR From Yellow to Green: Reducing School Transportation’s Impact on the Environment September 25, 2019 from 3:00pm - 3:30pm
School transportation is often a necessity for students and families, but daily trips to and from school have significant environmental effects for students and their communities. All of these vehicles emit millions of tons of greenhouse gases per year into the environment — contributing to global warming — and expose children to harmful pollutants that can affect their health and academic performance.
In a new policy brief, “From Yellow to Green: Reducing School Transportation’s Impact on the Environment https://enotrans.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d2579cc7754f7b743881bff96&id=0edf8e9e90&e=df9debc52c,” Bellwether Education Partners analyzed how school transportation affects the environment and what steps states and districts can take to provide more environmentally friendly transportation services. This webinar, hosted by the brief’s co-author Phillip Burgoyne-Allen, will provide an overview of the school transportation policy landscape, school transportation’s environmental impact, and the costs and benefits of a number of impact reduction strategies.
