The B&D Perspective

California schools' looming clean energy deadlines

School districts and community colleges are facing firm deadline: AB 579 requires all new school buses purchased after 2035 to be zero-emission, the Advanced Clean Fleets rule mandates 100% zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle purchases by 2027, and SB 100 commits the state to 100% clean electricity by 2045. In this month’s B&D Perspective, our experts share strategies to help district leaders move from compliance to opportunity by using pilots, partnerships, and asset optimization to protect budgets and deliver healthier campuses.
