Technical Note for A Dataset Of Electric School Bus Adoption In The United States

This technical note describes the methods used to create a dataset that tracks electric school bus (ESB) adoption across the United States. The dataset is organized by school district and tracks the number of “committed” ESBs in each district, with details like the bus manufacturer and funding source(s). It also contains school district socio-economic characteristics like poverty rates and racial composition, to enable wider analysis including whether the transition to ESBs is happening equitably.
