Dallas, Houston public schools aiming to retrofit or replace over 1,000 buses, many to switch to ULSD
Diesel Fuel News, Oct 28, 2002
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. EPA Administrator Christie Whitman launched the "Adopt-A-Bus" program, aiming to slash diesel exhaust emissions from school buses. Depending upon availability of Texas Emissions Reduction Program (TERP) state funds, as well as federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) funds, ULSD would be supplied to some 630 Houston school buses being retrofitted with diesel particulate filters (DPFs) next year.
