Joshua Tree Music Festival will be outdoors, limited capacity with increased safety measures

By Jackie Devereaux Joshua Tree, Calif. - This October will mark two full years since the festival has taken place at its longtime home, the Joshua Tree Lake RV & Campground in Joshua Tree, California. Only 150

tickets remain available!

The Joshua Tree Music Festival is known for its supreme live music experiences that feed the soul, deepdive workshops that uplift and inspire, random acts of mindfulness, interaction and

connection, spontaneous eruptions of gratitude, and a friendly familial spirit.

This Fall’s offering, “JTMF Presents: Heart of the Matter” is about getting back to basics, relishing in meaningful interactions, reintegrating,

Petty Officer 3rd Class Roman Villagrana is a 2013 Palm Springs High School graduate. Today, Villagrana serves as a Navy engineman.

“If your engine isn’t working properly, I’m the mechanic you to take it to that fixes it and keeps it running,” said Villagrana.

Villagrana joined the Navy two years ago for better opportunities in life and to see more of the world.

Iwo Jima is the seventh Wasp-class amphibious assault ship and the second ship in the U.S. Navy to bear that name. The ship was named for the Battle of Iwo Jima of World War II. According to Navy officials, amphibious assault ships are designed to deliver U.S. Marines and their equipment where they are needed to support a variety of missions ranging from amphibious assaults to humanitarian relief efforts. Designed to be versatile, the ship has the option of simultaneously using helicopters, Harrier jets, and Landing Craft Air Cushioned,

as well as conventional landing craft and assault vehicles in various combinations.

As a member of the U.S. Navy, Villagrana and other sailors know they are a part of a service tradition providing unforgettable experiences through leadership development, world affairs, and humanitarian assistance.

Their efforts will have a lasting effect around the globe and for generations of sailors who will follow.

How to Break Your Family’s Money Talk Taboo

By Desert Star Staff Do you and your family regularly discuss money matters, or do you shy away from the subject?

Experts note that money talk taboos are common among American families and that this needs to change.

“For many families, money is a topic we don’t openly discuss. But by avoiding these discussions, we’re inhibiting information flow around the best use of money,” says Michael Liersch, head of Advice and Planning for Wells Fargo’s Wealth & Investment Management division.

Liersch, a behavioral scientist who currently leads a team at Wells Fargo & Company responsible for developing research-based methods to help advisors and clients collaborate around money decisions, is hosting a new podcast. “About Money” focuses on breaking the money talk taboo and offers practical advice for having productive conversations about financial decision-making.

According to Liersch, here are a few ways some families view conversations around money: • It’s just gauche.

It can make people feel uncomfortable, embarrassed or bad, so don’t do it.

• It can disrupt harmony and spur arguments because ultimately, it’s airing dirty laundry, revisiting bad decisions or revealing serious personality conflicts around spending, saving and investing.

• It can reveal different reference points. For example, someone with more money can make those with less feel bad about themselves.

• It can make those without a lot of knowledge feel exposed by what they don’t know, and those with a lot of expertise feel like a know-it-all.

Whatever your family’s reasons for dodging dollars and cents around the dinner table, Liersch offers these tips for starting the conversation: 1. Write down your responses to the following questions. What’s the number one thing you want money to do for you? Do you feel you have enough -- just enough, more than enough, or not enough -- to get that job done? What’s holding you back from getting the job done?

What could you do to make sure that it does? Who do you need to talk to, or what resources do you need?

2. Store these answers in a secure, handy location.

3. Have conversations with those that may be impacted by the conclusions reached, such

as your partner, children and parents, and then collaborate with them on the next steps.

4. Set aside time regularly to focus on this information and to take incremental steps toward making your money work for you.

“No one is born with the knowledge of how to use money. It’s an abstract concept -- like language.

And like language, if you wait too long to learn it, you’ll

never master becoming a native speaker,” says Liersch.

“Today, as I sit around the kitchen table with my family, all topics are fair game, including those money-related topics that used to be taboo.”

Colorado River Flows Once Again to the Gulf of California

By Lourdes Medrano / Suzanne Potter SACRAMENTO, Calif. -In late spring, Antonia Torres González’ tears rolled freely at the rare sight before her: the Colorado River flowed again in what is usually a parched delta.

Torres González, a member of the Cucapá tribe who grew up in the river delta, couldn’t help but relive memories of childhood romps in the once-lush waterway in northwestern Mexico. “It was like seeing the river come back to life,” she says.

On May 1, 2021, the

river once again flowed in its delta thanks to an agreement between the United States and Mexico dubbed Minute 323.

Through Oct. 11, a total of 35,000 acre-feet of water (11.4 billion gallons) will be released downstream from Morelos Dam on the U.S.-Mexico border to quench the thirst of this long-withered ecosystem.

The mammoth endeavor to rejuvenate the river delta was years in the making and involved dozens of people, including water managers, policymakers, scientists, conservationists, and nonprofits

from both sides of the border.

“We provide a lot of brainpower and blood, sweat, and tears, and commitment to this,” says Nancy Smith, Colorado River Program conservation director at the Nature Conservancy.

A History Dried Up The decades-long deterioration of the Colorado River Delta began with the diversion of most of its water to farms and growing city populations in the United States. By the early 1960s, very little flow made it to the September 10, 2021

river’s lower reaches. Under a 1944 treaty, 1.5 million acrefeet of water-about 10% of the river’s annual flow-was required to reach Mexico each year, though most of that drenches farmland in the valley of Mexicali, Baja California, without ever reaching the delta that should reconnect the river to the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez.

Recent agreements between the countries, including this year’s pulse and another eight-week pulse of water back in 2014, ensure collaboration in restoring the delta and managing river water, sharing surpluses and shortages.

The restoration work that grassroots organizers jumpstarted in the delta region some two decades ago includes removing nonnative vegetation and reforestation of thousands of acres of willow, cottonwood, and mesquite trees-would in time, become a critical factor in the cross-border undertaking.

“We had a vision that someday the Colorado River could be connected again to the sea and to local communities,” says Francisco Zamora of the Sonoran Institute in Tucson, Arizona. The nonprofit, which also has offices in Mexicali, works with communities to revive dying ecosystems.

Seeing the river flowing into the delta today, albeit temporarily, gives him hope that local communities may once again rely on it for sustenance and recreation. Over the years, restoration work not only has provided local residents with jobs but also inspired them to believe that the delta can flourish again. Zamora says seeing the river flowing has reinforced that notion, even for young people who had never seen it happen before.

“It’s not only about wildlife or birds and trees,” he says.

“It’s also about the people.”

People-Centered Conservation Torres González remembers the Colorado River delta as an abundant source of water that sustained multiple generations of Cucapá families living on its banks. “When I was a child, the river was still flowing,” she says. “We bathed in it, we played games, we fished there. We used to drink water from the river, and most of our families used the water to do the wash and for other household chores.”

Gradually, the fish and the water flow diminished, as did the lush, native trees and other vegetation that families Continues on Page 3

Groups Look to Expand Jaguar Habitat

By Suzanne Potter/PNS SACRAMENTO, Calif.

- The battle against copper mining in the Santa Rita Mountains outside of Tucson continues - even though the feds just handed a victory to environmental groups.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just rejected a bid by a Canadian mining company, Hudbay Minerals, to remove critical-habitat designation for jaguars from 50,000 acres - the proposed site of the company’s open-pit Rosemont mine.

Gayle Hartmann, president of the nonprofit Save the Scenic Santa Ritas, said Hudbay now plans to explore the other side of the mountain - the west side.

“The biggest problem on the west side is that it’s largely

not public land; it’s private land,” said Hartmann. “It’s their mining claims, and they have bought more private land. So, they’re trying to avoid federal law by sticking to their private lands.”

In 2019, Hudbay lost a court case that halted preparations for the Rosemont mine, but that is now under appeal. The company, which did not respond to a request for comment by deadline, has invested tens of millions of dollars in its mining claims in the Santa Rita Mountains.

Hartmann said she wants to see the area returned to the Coronado National Forest in pristine condition.

“What we’re looking forward to ultimately is that there would be sufficient funds,” said Hartmann, “through the Land and Water Conservation Fund, perhaps - to buy out their private land and turn this back into a national forest without mining claims on it.”

Only a handful of jaguars still remain in the mountains of southern Arizona. Sportsmen and ranchers have hunted

them almost to extinction.

The area is considered an important wildlife corridor to lure the Mexican jaguar population back into their historic range.

Robert Peters, the southwest representative for Defenders of Wildlife, said he sees jaguars as an iconic part of the American West.

“They’re a charismatic,

vital part of our natural heritage that was lost,” said Peters.

“And it’s essential that we reintroduce top predators, like the Mexican wolf and the jaguar, because they’re key components to keeping ecosystems functioning well.”

Peters co-authored two recent scientific papers on jaguars - one on the feasibility of reintroducing them in

Arizona and one that identifies 20 million acres of possible jaguar habitat in Arizona, much of it north of Interstate 10.

traditionally used for food and medicine, recalls the tribal elder who now lives in a Mexicali neighborhood. “We no longer consume what grew naturally in the wetlands that were there,” Torres González says.

Zamora says that this year’s water delivery will allow nearby communities to enjoy the river again for five months and directly benefits about 700 acres of restored landscape.

“This is an area where you can find many species of birds, and some are what we call target species, like the yellow-billed cuckoo.” To thrive, target species require mature cottonwood and willow forest, so their presence in the delta is a good indicator that the habitat is improving and suitable for such birds, he says.

The Sonoran Institute and the Nature Conservancy are part of Raise the River, a coalition of environmental groups from Mexico and the U.S. working to restore the river delta. “The Colorado River Delta used to cover 2 million acres,” Smith says. “It was this vast, watery landscape teeming with birdsreally quite extraordinary.”

Smith has no doubt the delta can make a comeback.

“One of the really wonderful things we learned from the 2014 pulse flow is that with water, the ecosystem responds,” she says. “The birds return, the cottonwoods and willow trees return, the local and migratory birds have increased-many

of which are endangered.”

The 2014 pulse flow released downstream, Minute 319, was roughly 105,000 acre-feet of water (about 1% of the river’s annual flow) and transformed the dry delta into a river again for eight weeks.

Subsequent scientific studies showed the water release boosted vegetation, greening restoration areas and increasing specific bird species-at least for a while. Even though the abundance of birds later diminished, levels remained higher than before 2014, according to a 2018 report from the International Boundary and Water Commission.

Lessons learned from the first water surge helped design the current water delivery to maximize benefits to the delta, Smith says. For example, to keep the water from seeping into the ground early on, which happened in 2014, existing irrigation canals are used to direct the flow toward restoration sites. Nonprofits and grassroots groups also fund on-the-ground projects in the delta and contribute donor resources to match the U.S. and Mexico governments.

“We work hand in hand with the government to do all the science necessary to make sure that we keep making progress and making sure that whatever environmental water comes across the border is put to the best use,” Smith says.

the river flowing again, if only briefly, restores her hope in the delta’s resiliency-just like it did her mother, Inocencia González, before she died in June 2021.

“It would benefit us a lot if the water reaches the delta regularly again,” she says. “In this water flow, we saw that there were a lot of small fish that could have grown in this river, and it would’ve meant good fishing for the Cucapá.”

As drought and climate change further strain a

dwindling Colorado River and other natural resources around the globe, Smith says, international agreements may become more critical.

She hopes the U.S.-Mexico collaboration will bring about similar arrangements elsewhere.

“If we can restore the river, it will benefit a lot of people, but it also shows that we can protect nature, we can restore nature,” she says. “And if we can do it in the Colorado River, we can do it in other parts of the world.”

The Twangtown Paramours “Talk about Peace”

By Desert Star Staff NASHVILLE, TN – MaryBeth Zamer and Mike T. Lewis – aka The Twangtown Paramours – announce the upcoming launch of their new singles to Spotify and other digital platforms: “Talk about Peace” on September 17; and “Double Down on a Bad Thing” - as a prelude to their new full-length album, Double Down on a Bad Thing, coming February 4, 2022, on Inside Edge Records. The Nashvillebased duo will additionally release a special Christmas single, “My Gingerbread Man,” on November 12 to all digital outlets, including the new album CD. The Twangtown Paramours are an awardwinning husband and wife duo who are three-time Kerrville Folk Festival finalists and winners of Texas’s Wildflower Contest. The team of Lewis and Zamer are excited to release a project that represents a new and energetic musical direction for them. In contrast to their earlier acoustic work, Double Down on a Bad Thing is electric, rhythmic, and band-centric. This full-band album is primarily uptempo and upbeat.

The core group on Double Down on a Bad Thing consists of MaryBeth on

vocals, Mike on guitars and bass, Shawn Pelton of the Saturday Night Live band, Shawn Colvin and Roseanne Cash fame on drums and percussion. Some of the other featured musicians on the album include Dave Keyes, who is a two-time Blues Music Awards Pinetop Perkins pianist nominee; Rave Tesar, music director of the band Renaissance; Steve Conn, pianist for Sonny Landreth; New York session piano player and organist, Ed Alstrom; and horn players Dan Nigro and Vinnie Cutro from Smokey Joe’s Café. “‘Talk About Peace’ is a song with a clear message,” says Mike T. Lewis about the first single. “We live in a society that is set against itself. We all know how to fix it, but we haven’t so far.

Every major religion tells us what to do: think of others before you act, love thy neighbor as thyself, don’t let ego and greed get in the way, be kind, and forgive. This song is an anthemic plea for action instead of lip service.”

“Our second single, ‘Double Down on a Bad Thing,’ is the title track and goes right to the heart of what the album is about – a retro early 1960s sound, a great catchy melody, a hard-hitting groove, and

a lot of fun,” volunteers MaryBeth Zamer. “The tune features Dan Nigro and Vinnie Cutro in a Memphissounding horn section.”

Lead singer MaryBeth Zamer was a fixture in the Washington, D.C. club circuit for many years. She performed with the band Ignition and sang background vocals for Eva Cassidy in the band Method Actor. She is also the principal author of some of the most meaningful songs in The Twangtown Paramours’ catalog.

Mike T. Lewis is a session musician, producer, and hit

songwriter. He is the author of a #1 platinum pop tune in Korea, “A Heartbeat Away,” ranked as the second biggestselling female ballad of all time in that country. He also sometimes plays upright bass for Jimmie Dale Gilmore and does a little TV acting. He has appeared on the Investigative Discovery Channel and as a background actor on CMT’s “Nashville.” Mike is the primary writer of the tunes on Double Down on a Bad Thing.

In their exciting, hardhitting, primarily retro, and often whimsical album, Double Down on a Bad Thing,

the Twangtown Paramours ask their audience to recall when catchy pop melodies and great, blues-influenced grooves ruled the world when dynamic Beatle-esque chord progressions served as the soundtrack of a confident and evolving society, and when music inspired forwardthinking and action. If the upbeat feel and energy of a past musical era can help change people’s mindsets to positivity and hope, this is the album to do it. If not, it will at least cheer folks up while they are listening.

Can burying power lines protect storm-wracked electric grids?

The US electricity grid has hundreds of thousands of miles of high-voltage power lines and millions of miles of low-voltage power lines.

Theodore J. Kury Director of Energy Studies, University of Florida The good news when Hurricane Ida churned into Louisiana on Aug. 29, 2021 was that levees held up – especially those that were strengthened after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans in 2005. The bad news: In many places, power systems failed. Nearly five days later,

more than 80% of New Orleans customers were still in the dark, in sweltering heat.

Electricity is critical for health, safety and comfort.

Without it, it’s hard to buy groceries, fuel your car or get cash from an ATM. Many medical devices, including power wheelchairs, ventilators and nebulizers, run on electricity. Schools can’t operate without

power, and kids can’t attend class online without computers or electricity.

Dramatic images of damaged power lines can make people wonder whether their electricity service might be more secure if those lines were buried underground. But I’ve studied this question for utilities and regulators, and the answer is not straightforward.

There are many ways to make September 10, 2021

power grids more resilient, but they are all costly, require the involvement of many agencies, businesses and power customers, and may not solve the problem.

It’s impossible to completely protect the grid Ideas for making the electricity grid more resilient to weather and disasters have to acknowledge two unpleasant realities. First, there is no way

to completely protect the grid.

Above-ground lines are vulnerable to damaging winds, flying debris and falling trees.

But underground lines are susceptible to damage from water incursion driven by storm surges or flooding. So, choosing the location of power lines means choosing which threat is more manageable.

Second, the public ultimately pays for maintaining the power grid, either via their electric bills or through taxes.

The greatest responsibility facing utilities, their regulators and government agencies is ensuring that people receive benefits commensurate with the money they pay for their electricity service.

Deciding how to make the grid more resilient begins locally. In general, the best place to locate power lines depends on what type of damage is most likely in that area. If a region is more concerned with storm surge and flooding, the best choice may be locating power lines above ground, with regular tree trimming to keep branches from falling on power lines. Power poles made from resilient materials, such as fiberglass Continues on Page 7 www.desertstarweekly.com

Biden to make vaccines MANDATORY for federal workers

By Sameea Kamal According to multiple reports, President Joe Biden has signed an executive order requiring all federal

workers and contractors to be vaccinated against Covid-19. The order is one of several measures Biden is expected to announce.

Biden signed the order on Thursday, hours before he was due to give a speech laying out a “six-pronged” strategy to curb the spread

of the coronavirus, the Associated Press reported, citing an anonymous source.

The order requires all federal workers and contractors doing business with the government to be vaccinated, with no option to undergo regular testing.

It represents a toughening of earlier rules rolled out by Biden this summer, which required federal employees to be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing for the disease.

It is unclear whether exemptions will be made for workers objecting on medical or religious grounds, and indoor mask mandates in federal buildings will likely remain in place, given the fact that the rapidly spreading Delta variant of Covid-19 can spread among the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.

The mandate will apply to

some 2.5 million employees of the federal government. It comes several weeks after the Pentagon ordered all active-duty military members to be vaccinated with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, following its approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to the Pentagon, more than 1.3 million troops are on active duty, and less than half have voluntarily gotten vaccinated.

President Biden is expected to announce the new mandatory jab order at a press conference later on Thursday. He is also expected to outline other policies to curb the spread of Covid-19, including expanded free testing. In addition, he will likely address the possibility of booster shots for people who are already fully vaccinated.

And Dak’s comeback gets no more accessible from

there — next week, Dallas flies to Los Angeles to face the Chargers and Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert.

Is Dak Really Back?

How’s this for a nice welcome back?

Of all the opponent’s Dak Prescott could face in his first start in 340 days, he gets the defending champs and arguably the best quarterback of all time — who rarely loses in Week 1.

In March, Jerry Jones showed his faith in his franchise quarterback — even as he was recovering from a devastating ankle injury — by signing him to a four-year, $160 million contract with $126 million guaranteed.

The Cowboys believe Dak will return to his rightful status as one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, but will he immediately look like

the one against one of the league’s elite defenses?

• In 2020, Tampa ranked fourth in sacks, fifth in takeaways, sixth in yards per game, and eighth in points allowed per game.

• Dallas averaged 32.6 points per game with Prescott and 21.1 without him last season.

• In Dak’s last entire season (2019), he threw for 4,902 yards (2nd in NFL) with 30 touchdowns (4th) and a 71.9 QBR (4th).

Dak still has one of the most potent offenses with Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and Ezekiel Elliott.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

PUBLIC NOTICE

PUBLIC NOTICE

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (855) 976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site https://tracker.auction.com/ sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case VAC.377-245. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

Utilities are burying power lines in California, where above-ground electrical lines and equipment have sparked deadly wildfires in recent years. high-voltage transmission line handles an intense flow, like a fire hose. Power is “stepped down” to lower voltages when it enters the distribution system, so the power moving through a distribution line is analogous to water flowing through a garden hose.

Burying transmission lines is technically feasible, and may be practical over short distances. But all power lines lose some of the electricity they carry as heat – and if this heat builds up, it ultimately restricts the line’s ability to carry power over longer distances. Air effectively dissipates heat from above-ground lines, but buried lines are more vulnerable to heating.

lines or building extra lines as backups may be the only options for strengthening the system in many places. But building new high-voltage power lines is challenging.

Many people are concerned about possible health risks from exposure to electromagnetic fields, which emanate from highvoltage lines. Regulatory agencies struggle with finding acceptable sites and allocating the costs of these projects.

Managing expectations Whatever steps utilities take to harden the grid, there still are circumstances when the power will go out – especially during climatedriven disasters like wildfires and tropical storms. It’s easier to talk about making the power grid more resilient soon after disasters, but the conversation needs to continue after power is restored. In my view, the only way to solve this challenge is by finding ways for utilities, regulators, businesses and customers to transparently discuss the most feasible ways to keep the lights on.

FAMILY FEATURES

eaching kids about the environment from an early age starts lifelong habits and creates awareness about the way humans affect the Earth. Connecting those lessons to school is an easy way to reinforce how the whole family can make everyday changes that make a difference.

Lower lunchtime impact. Between brown bags, baggies and other packaging waste, school lunches generate a heap of trash. Instead, encourage kids to pick colorful reusable lunchboxes they can use again and again. Bento-style boxes add kid-friendly fun while keeping food separated so you can skip plastic baggies. Another earth-friendly suggestion for school lunch: instead of single-serve products, buy larger bulk packages you can use to fill reusable containers.

Manage transportation. Getting kids to and from school affects the environment in multiple ways, from energy consumption to pollution. You can reduce your family’s impact by having kids ride the bus or carpooling with others in your neighborhood. Avoid idling while at school pickup and drop off and advocate for your school district to use clean energy options, like propane, for its transportation fleet.

According to the Propane Education & Research Council, propane school buses offer multiple benefits for school districts and students alike. Not only do propane buses save school districts’ money, but they also reduce harmful emissions, giving students a healthier ride to school.

Find more information at BetterOurBuses.com.

Stop water waste. Over the past year, access to water fountains has been significantly limited to prevent the spread of germs. That means many school districts are more receptive to having kids bring water bottles from home. Sending your little learners off with reusable bottles offers a winwin that reduces reliance on plastic bottles and other single-serve beverage containers, while also encouraging kids to practice healthy habits by staying hydrated throughout the day.

Skip the supply splurge. While there’s something exciting about breaking open a brand new box of crayons or markers, it’s not really necessary to buy all new supplies year after year. Reusing what gets sent home at the end of the year saves money and prevents waste of still-functional supplies that would otherwise take up space in landfills.

Encourage resourceful recycling. Get kids excited about recycling by designing and decorating recycling bins using leftover materials around the house. When it’s fun and they’ve had a hand in creating the tools, kids are more likely to remember to put recycling in its place.

Include the whole family. Family time can be a precious commodity while school is in session, so make it meaningful when you can by bringing everyone together for a cause. Take the family to a local recycling center for an afternoon of volunteering or gather everyone for a pick-up day at a nearby park.

School is often the center of kids’ worlds, so bringing lessons about protecting the environment into the education setting is a natural way to introduce them to ideas for protecting the Earth and its resources.

When it comes to schools and education, paying more attention to earth-friendly practices isn’t limited to just your home. Switching to propane buses is one of the main ways school districts are updating their transportation plans to ensure every child has a safe, clean, healthy ride to school.

Electric vehicles make sense for several uses, including the passenger cars parents use to drive their students to school, but propane has a fuel range and performance better suited for school transportation vehicles that travel long distances at a time.

Energy Equity

Harmful Emissions

Generally, the more affordable energy is, the more equitable its distribution will be. The cost of a propane school bus and its refueling infrastructure is one of the most affordable options for school districts. Propane buses are nearly four times less expensive than electric buses.

Plus, school districts save money throughout the lifetime of propane buses. Propane school buses cost 30-50% less per mile to operate than diesel, according to the Propane Education & Research Council, and some districts are saving more than $1 per gallon, which can add up to thousands of

Carbon Footprint

In most of the United States, propane school buses are a lower carbon option than electric school buses charged using the electric grid. New innovations in the industry have also led to a renewable propane option for school buses, which ensures low-carbon options well into the future. Because it’s produced from renewable raw materials, renewable propane is a lower carbon option than conventional propane and is cleaner than other energy sources.

dollars over a single school year. That’s money that can go back into classrooms.

While diesel exhaust is classified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen, propane buses don’t expose students to the same harmful emissions. Propane school bus engines lower greenhouse gases and other harmful emissions to near-zero levels, which improves air quality and eliminates concerns about breathing-related issues.

In fact, propane school buses significantly reduce the harmful emissions that are federally regulated due to their negative impact on human health and are a known trigger for issues like asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory problems.
