Floyd County School Buses Go Green
KENTUCKY...
Over 70 school buses in Floyd County will produce less diesel emissions, thanks to a combination of diesel oxidation catalysts, multi-stage filters and crankcase shaft filters made possible by a grant of over $200,000 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Thirty-two districts across the state received funding from a grant, with $2 million in total awarded. Floyd County received one of the largest sums in the mount of $203,000. The funds will be used throughout the district to raise educational awareness among students, staff and the community regarding particulate matter emissions and fine particle emissions through the Floyd County Idle Reduction Policy.
