The short explanation of this alert was:
Some 3 million children in the United States ride aging, dangerously dirty school buses to school every day. This spring, Union of Concerned Scientists and Clean School Bus activists around the country successfully petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to adjust its focus for the 2005 Clean School Bus USA grant process. The EPA has agreed to increase its focus on older, dirtier school buses and in-cabin pollution--two areas of great risk to our children. This grant process is now underway. The application deadline is July 22. Please contact your state’s director of pupil transportation today and ask that they participate in this year’s grant cycle. A strong response to the application process can help ensure that the most at-risk children are a priority for this program, and help secure much-needed federal attention to this issue in future years.
