About the SUSD Clean Mobility in Schools Project: Stockton Unified School District has partnered with the Center for Transportation and the Environment, Schneider Electric, NV5, The Mobility House, A-Z Bus, and ViriCiti on the California Air Resources Board’s Clean Mobility in Schools Grant Program for the Getting Stockton to Zero - Emissions: Clean Air for Our Community project. The project has deployed 14 electric school buses, electric lawn and garden equipment, and related charging infrastructure; created a master plan detailing the most effective way to improve air quality in the greater Stockton region and achieve a fully zero-emission school district; and aims to communicate the project’s results to the community and SUSD’s students.
