From Metro:
In 1996, John McCommon, president of Ridgeland, Mississippi's Cline Tours Inc., purchased the operation, which at the time was about 13 years old but only consisted of one bus.
"It was a well-known business at the time with a great name in the region, which is why I chose to keep the Cline Tours brand," explains McCommon. "But obviously, you can't make a living with one bus, so I looked to grow the business and was able to do so fairly quickly."

From School Transportation News:
Eight years ago, Orange County Public Schools in Florida won a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools award. Since then, the district has created a sustainability plan for 2030 that includes reducing transportation emissions.
The U.S. Department of Education recognizes districts each year for their initiative in school sustainability. The program, which has been in place since 2012, is a public engagement initiative structured as a federal recognition award. The U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS) honors schools, districts and postsecondary institutions' cost-saving, health-promoting and performance-enchaining substantiality practices.
Awardees are invited to a ceremony in Washington, D.C., where they receive a plaque and conduct interviews with the media. School districts must apply to their respective state education authorities and are then nominated to the ED. State participation is voluntary, and states that do participate are irregular with their nominations. States must submit their nominees each February and awardees are announced in April of the same year. This year's awardees are expected to be released soon. Next year's submission date is Feb. 14, 2025.....................................
