School Fleet Alternative Fuels Summit Nov 15 2017

TIME CHANGE. To bring you all the latest developments, we are starting at 9:00 a.m.

Clean, alternative fuels are the future of school district transportation. Propane, natural gas and electric vehicle options are becoming mainstream, and Kansas City districts are already committing to these alternatives to diesel buses. Alternative fuels give school districts a new approach to long-term substantial fuel savings, while protecting students from the risks of diesel emissions.

What: 2017 School Fleet Alternative Fuels Summit

When: Wednesday, November 15, 2017, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm

Where: Blue Springs School District’s Bartow Administrative Center, 1801 Northwest Vesper Street, Blue Springs, MO

Who: School district fleet managers, superintendents and district purchasing professionals.

Guest speakers will cover the latest in alt-fuel technology, reports from districts already using alternative fuels, information on financing alt fuel projects, and a tour of the Blue Springs District’s compressed natural gas fueling and fleet facilities. Lunch is included as part of the program. See full tentative agenda.
