A caravan of 47 new “green” school buses will wind through the streets of Kansas City, Kansas on March 16 making their way to their new home.

The compressed natural gas buses (CNG) are replacing nearly one-third of the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools’ (KCKPS) diesel bus fleet. The new buses are environmentally friendly, and will cut the district’s fuel costs by more than one-third.

They were purchased with the support of a  $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy in partnership with Kansas City Regional Clean Cities.
