Fairfax County Public Schools officially launched its first fleet of electric school buses as part of a commitment to providing carbon neutral student transportation by 2035. The eight new buses and charging stations were on display at the division's Stonecroft Transportation Center in Chantilly.

According to
patch.com, "Superintendent Scott Brabrand was joined by school board members at the event held to herald a new dawn of green school bus vehicles in Fairfax County. Speaking ahead of the event, Dr. Brabrand said, "Having electric school buses in our fleet is consistent with the Fairfax County Joint Environmental Task Force's goal to become carbon neutral. "This is a great step forward for FCPS and underscores our commitment to being an environmentally responsible community." The eight electric buses, which are already operational, help to transport 140,000 eligible bus riders to and from school each day."
As per patch.com, "FCPS is part of the Fairfax County Joint Environmental Task Force (JET)(link is external), which was formed to address climate change and environmental sustainability proactively and collaboratively in Fairfax County. The JET is composed of representatives from both the Board of Supervisors and the School Board, and community partners from higher education, industry, and community and student advocacy groups. One of the JET's goals is for FCPS to transition to electric or zero-carbon alternatives for school buses and eligible fleet vehicles by 2035. "
