Proven School Transportation, Ready Today
More than 24,000 propane autogas school buses are already on the road, helping districts lower operating costs, refuel quickly, and deliver reliable all-weather service without depending on charging infrastructure.
Why School Districts Choose Propane Autogas
Lower, More Predictable Fuel Costs
Manage tight transportation budgets with stable, low-priced fuel and lower maintenance costs than diesel, preserving more resources for students.
Reliable Performance in Any Season
Keep buses on schedule with dependable performance and fast refueling, without charging delays or the range limitations of electric buses.
Improved Air Quality for Students
Reduce NOx, SOx, and greenhouse gas emissions compared with gasoline and diesel, helping improve air quality where students ride, wait for buses, and learn.
Simpler Maintenance, Reduced Downtime
Cut maintenance complexity by eliminating DPF, DEF, and regeneration cycles, helping reduce downtime and keep buses in service.

Lower Fleet Costs Mean More Money for What Matters
Propane autogas can help school districts lower transportation costs without compromising the reliable service students depend on. Fuel costs can be up to 50% lower than diesel, helping districts put more of their budgets toward what matters most.
Greater Cost Stability For Every Mile
When diesel goes up by two dollars a gallon and propane autogas only goes up about 15 cents, that’s a big difference. When I look at the diesel on my chart, it’s a roller coaster, peaks and valleys. My propane autogas line is pretty flat in comparison.
