Improving the Experience for Drivers and Students Alike

Dawnett Wright discovered that driver buy-in happens the moment they experience the 50% noise reduction of a propane engine. This quieter operation creates a significantly less stressful environment for drivers and improves safety for the 9,000 students Peninsula serves daily. Additionally, because these buses produce up to 90% fewer toxic emissions, they provide a healthier ride that has even been linked to improved student performance.
