This report is part of the Equity Framework in Action by World Resource Institute’s (WRI) Electric School Bus (ESB) Initiative. Its purpose is to provide an equity analysis of the geographic distribution of school buses, their fuel types, and their emissions control technology to understand which school districts and which populations are exposed to emissions from the oldest, most polluting school buses, and, conversely, what the socioeconomic characteristics are of the districts that have had early success procuring electric school buses. We seek to answer the following question: are older school buses contributing to the disproportionate burden of transport pollution exposure seen in disadvantaged communities?
