DEQ Home > School Bus Retrofit Program
Utah’s Clean School Bus Retrofit Project is underway. The overall project will be broken up into several phases. Each phase will focus on a particular geographic area of the state. Depending on current funding levels, some phases may run concurrent with one another.
The first phase is in the Southwest area of the state and involves the Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, Millard, Paiute, Sevier, South Sanpete, Washington, and Wayne school districts. In addition, Buses from the Murray School District will be included in this first phase of the project. A total of 258 buses are expected to be retrofitted in this phase of the project. Installation for this phase will start in late December.
The second phase will include all three school districts from Utah County (Alpine, Nebo, and Provo). A total of 360 buses are expected to be retrofitted during this phase, which will start in early 2009.
The next phase is anticipated to include buses from Box Elder, Salt Lake City, Tintic, Tooele, and Juab school districts. This phase will began when funding becomes available, which is anticipated to be as early as January 2009.
Another phase will also include buses from Granite and Jordan school districts. This phase will began when funding becomes available, which is anticipated to be as early as September 2009.
