More than four dozen Arizona school districts are getting new school buses at no cost to taxpayers. The tab for the 142 new buses is coming from the state’s $57 million share of a nationwide settlement with Volkswagen over the sale of its so-called “clean-diesel” vehicles.
More than four-dozen Arizona school districts are getting new school buses at no cost to taxpayers.
The tab for the 142 new buses is coming from the state’s $57 million share of a nationwide settlement with Volkswagen over the sale of its so-called “clean-diesel” vehicles. Gov. Doug Ducey had ultimate authority on how to divide the money, within certain court-approved guidelines.
More districts may benefit in the future. The governor’s office said it is still reviewing the applications from another 63 districts to see if they qualify.
