"U.S. PIRG, Environment Texas, and Frontier Group estimated that if the U.S. replaced each of the country’s 500,000 school buses with an electric version...those buses could...match the output of 16 coal power plants or 1.2M res. solar panel installations." texasobserver.org/a-bipartisan-w…

This article nicely summarizes some key info about the EPA's Clean School Bus program and electric school buses in general: forbes.com/sites/stacynob…

U.S. PIRG This picture of a crosswalk and bike lane being protected by bollards is great, but it would have been even better if the guardrail wasn’t blocking access to the crosswalk.

Replacing the on-street parking on M and Wisconsin with bike or bus-only lanes would be amazing. The lack of a nearby metro stop means that removing cars completely is probably not viable, but seriously… you have to be crazy to park on M street anyway
