Mothers & Others for Clean Air is working with Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) on its Adopt-A-School Bus Program. The Georgia Adopt-A-School Bus Program is a pilot program, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus USA program, designed to provide funding assistance to help school systems in the twenty county metro Atlanta non- attainment area reduce emissions from their school bus fleets. The program will help establish partnerships between school systems, community businesses and organizations, corporations, and civic organizations with the common goal of protecting the health and well-being of children in their communities. The pilot program consists of four county school systems, but EPD hopes to roll the program out to other county and city school systems in the future.
