Riding a School Bus Saves Green
Parents who put their child on the school bus will not only add green to their wallet, they'll also help the environment by taking their own car off the road.

• According to the American School Bus Council (ASBC) one school bus full of kids is equal to taking 36 cars off the road.
• Students riding school buses save 3.1 billion gallons of fuel that would be used in passenger cars every year.
• If 10% more children in the U.S. rode school buses, another 300 million gallons of fuel could be saved annually.
• With their children riding a school bus one family can save an average $663 in fuel costs and 3,600 miles annually. From kindergarten to twelfth grade, that is 46,800 miles and $8,619.
