Blue Bird Corp. is one of the most widely known manufacturer of alt fuel buses in the country. They work with schools across the country to implement  clean-burning propane autogas Type C yellow school buses into their fleet. For example, the state of Indiana recently announced the deployment of five Blue Bird propane-powered buses by the Tippecanoe School Corporation. While there will be some difference in fuel economy, as of May officials said they were paying $2 per gallon less for autogas versus diesel.

One key environmental advantage of propane autogas vehicles are the dramatic reductions in harmful pollutants like NOx, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter – the latter being the major cause of smog in metropolitan areas. By switching to cleaner fuels like propane autogas, school districts are not only saving money – but helping to clean up the air for future generations.
