From Bus & Motorcoach News:
As Americans prepare for peak summer travel, a new report from the American Bus Association Foundation highlights motorcoach travel as the most sustainable and energy-efficient mode of passenger transportation across North America.
Commissioned by the ABA Foundation in partnership with Oxford Economics, the Motorcoach 2025 Sustainability and Innovation Report evaluates the environmental impact of motorcoach travel compared to other transportation modes. Findings confirm that motorcoaches produce the least carbon dioxide emissions per passenger-mile, outperforming air travel, rail, ferry, transit buses, and personal vehicles.
"This report recognizes what our industry has long known: motorcoaches are the most energy-efficient, lowest-emission mode of passenger transportation available today," says Fred Ferguson, president and CEO of the American Bus Association. "In 2023 alone, motorcoach travel helped the U.S. avoid an estimated $2.7 billion in social costs tied to emissions."...............

From School Transportation News:
While attending the STN EXPO East conference in March, School Transportation News connected with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools student transportation professional in North Carolina. One of these individuals is Monique Jackson, an education veteran who recently wrote a children's book focused on school bus safety.
Jackson is an area manager for Charlotte-Mecklenburg, the second largest school district in the state. One of 14 area managers, Jackson oversees services for over 5,000 families across 12 different schools. Jackson recalled her time as president of her senior class in high school, where in the yearbook she had said that she would like to be a kindergarten teacher. Little did she know, that would only be the start of her over 25-year career working with students.
Her educational career began at Crispus Attucks Children's Center, a non-profit childcare center in Roxbury, Massachusetts as a preschool teacher. Jackson transitioned from early childhood care to a program director in Boston that led to her education advocacy work with a group that she described as a "inner city network of childcare provider professionals."..........................................
