On July 21st, Highland joined Virginia Clean Cities for the Technology Happy Hour. Claire Alford, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Associate on the Market Development team at Highland Electric Fleets, shared how Highland’s electric fleet subscription model can bring electric school buses to fleets across the nation from large to small.
Right now is a big time for electric school buses with the first round of the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program Funding Open (applications close on August 19th), and school districts across the country are looking into their electrification options. But for schools who have not engaged with fleet electrification or are looking to scale their whole fleet to electric overtime, there can be a lot of information to wade through. This is where someone like Highland can help. Highland’s electric fleet subscription model takes care of it all while allowing school districts to remain in control with their drivers, mechanics, and depots.
To learn more about the benefits of electric school buses and how Highland can help your fleet, watch a recording of our Technology Happy Hour session below or on our YouTube channel.
For even more information you can also check out Highland’s one-pagers on their Model, Benefits of Electric School Buses, and Frequently Asked Questions.

The Technology Happy Hour is a monthly series presented by Virginia Clean Cities to connect individuals and fleets to technologies and provide a space for discussion.
