This survey (Survey) of Washington school districts is being conducted by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), in collaboration with the Department of Ecology (Ecology), at the direction of the State Legislature in House Bill 1368. The State Legislature identified a need for OSPI to survey districts in order to better prepare for transportation decarbonization, including the existing capacity of districts to operate zero-emission school buses and to receive feedback on a total cost of ownership (TCO) formula developed by OSPI in collaboration with Ecology. Some questions in the Survey are designed to help Ecology better serve districts with Zero-Emission School Bus grant funding. The Survey will be analyzed to provide a report to the Legislature by December 1st, 2024. For any questions please contact Patti Enbody or your Regional Transportation Coordinator.

*Local Education Agencies (LEAs) that contract for pupil transportation services should work with their contractor to complete the survey.*
