One more reason to elect Elise Stefanik governor

New York's electric bus mandate requires all school districts, starting in 2027, purchase only electric buses. Their entire fleet must transition to zero-emission electric school buses by 2035. This is already a problem because your local school districts often take an 8-year loan on something as expensive as a bus fleet and school boards are now faced with bad choices. At $300,000 to $450,000 per bus, your school taxes could take a serious jump and some school districts have told me they'd have to double the size of their fleet to accommodate for short ranges and charge times.
What is more, many areas of our grid don't even have enough power to charge the buses; even if they could spend the millions in transmission, charging stations, and infrastructure upgrades. And in cold climates, they're installing diesel heaters on electric buses so the passengers don't freeze. For some school districts, this mandate is actually impossible, for others, it's ridiculously costly and dangerous.
Finally, I represent a couple of schools who took state incentives to become early adopters and test out the e-buses. I've spoken to the superintendents and the mechanics. The buses are preforming even worse than the low expectations we had (technology which simply isn't close). One school anecdotally said the buses spend more time on a flatbed tow truck than they spend delivering students.
The Empire Center estimates over $8billion taxpayers will spend on this wasteful and dangerous pet project. If Governor Hochul could apply common sense and actually cared about affordability, she'd reverse the mandate right now.

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇲 We have strayed, as a country, far from what our Founders intended, but we should honor the sacrifices made to become a free country, work to restore individual liberty and reject government dependence. 🇺🇲
