Équiterre has published Canada's first electric school bus report card, revealing that most provinces are not meeting targets for transitioning to electric school buses. The assessment evaluates provincial progress against electrification goals and policy commitments. The report highlights gaps in procurement and deployment across the country.
Why it matters: Provincial procurement strategies for electric school buses will need to accelerate to meet climate targets, creating opportunities for charging infrastructure providers to support fleet operators. The report card may prompt policy changes that unlock funding and tender activity in underperforming regions.
