Published

Adams County School District 14 will roll out 14 new electric school buses by 2025, adding to the 144 electric buses that already are ferrying school children in Colorado or are on-order for districts across the state.

The Adams 14 buses will phase out more than half of the 25 diesel buses used by the district. The school district also will build solar-powered canopies to house the new buses, and that solar power will be used to charge them, said Josh Cochran, the district’s operations director.

The solar power also will help electrify Alsup Elementary School, which is next to the district’s bus depot in Commerce City.
