Transportation (School Bus) Levy Facts

The Transportation (School Bus Levy) supports safe, sustainable, and reliable transportation while managing maintenance costs through fleet modernization, including adding electric buses and expanding charging infrastructure. This is one of three levy renewal proposals that will be considered by voters in the February 10, 2026, Special Election.

Maintaining a safe, reliable fleet ensures students can travel to school, programs, and activities every day. 

Facts about Proposition 3, the Transportation (School Bus) Levy: 

• Supports the replacement of aging school buses and adds to the district's current fleet of 170 buses, based on lifecycles and safety needs. Our drivers use our buses to operate more than 500 daily routes. 
   
• The majority of the buses will be diesel; however, over the next five years, the levy would add up to 17 new electric buses and charging infrastructure. The district is currently piloting three electric buses that were purchased using grant funding. 
   
• Keeping our bus fleet up to date helps reduce emissions and lowers fuel costs.
