Find out how Hortonville Area School District has greened their fleet.

1. School Bus Emissions and
Idle Reduction

2.  Since 2010 Hortonville Area School Districts
Transportation Dept. has been working to
improve air quality around the area of our
schools, and all areas affected with our
School Buses.
 We have focused on two areas:
1) Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
2) Auxiliary Heaters – Reduction in Idle Time

3.  By using the DPF, school buses are
emitting less pollutants in the air.

4.  Less Idle Time to Warm Up
 No Idle Time in Loading Zone at School
 Bus warms quicker
 Windows defrost faster
 Less parent complaints about cold school buses
 No need to plug bus in every night, no cords
to trip over.
 Less Idle Time uses Less Fuel
 Less Idle Time means Less Emissions

7.  No more winter plug in
 Driver’s going on “out of
town” trips will not need to
carry an extension cord
 Just set the timer and the
Auxiliary Heater does the
rest
