LA GRANDE — Students in the La Grande School District may be riding electric school buses 20 months from now.
The school district's bus provider — Mid Columbia Bus Company — will soon submit a grant proposal to the Environmental Protection Agency that would allow it to add up to 10 electric buses to its fleet. The application, which is being prepared by the school district, must be submitted by the end of December, according to Austin Tibbetts, location manager for Mid Columbia Bus Company’s Grande Ronde Transportation district.
