SLAP NOW! GOALS

School Districts should Adopt Policies To:

#1 Have Idle-Free School Zones
This means zero idling time for school buses, cars, delivery trucks and any vehicle on school property

#2 Replace Old, Dirty Buses with New Clean Buses
Buses from model year 1995 and older are the dirtiest, and are too old to retrofit. School districts need to replace the dirtiest buses with clean ones.

#3 Retrofit the Buses in Between, and Use ULSDF
The buses currently used that are from model years 1996 through 2004 can and should be retrofitted. School districts should also use Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel, which is the cleanest type of diesel fuel, having the least amount of sulfur and particulate matter.

#4 Not Use Old, Dirty Buses Any More
School Districts should adopt policy stating they will not operate, own or contract with anyone who has a bus model year 1995 or older.
