On Earth Day in 2022, Équiterre and Green Communities Canada launched the new Canadian Electric School Bus Alliance (CESBA), an initiative that aims to accelerate the electrification of school buses in Canada. Funded by the Consecon Foundation, The Echo Foundation and the Trottier Family Foundation, CESBA is steered by a diverse and well-versed committee in the issue of electric school buses. These members include the Council Conservation of New Brunswick, Ecology Action Center, For Our Kids, the Pembina Institute and Pollution Probe.

With this launch, CESBA is thrilled to open the door to new members that have an expertise or an interest in school bus electrification and wish to contribute with their knowledge to the conversation on sustainable mobility.

Electrifying school buses can reduce our transportation emissions, help improve air quality, and reinforce Canada’s electric automotive industry with ‘Made in Canada’ buses. It is high time that Canada fast-tracked the electrification of its school bus fleet — for the sake of today’s and tomorrow’s youth.
