Meet the newest addition to our fleet, which arrived this week! This bus is a 2021 Blue Bird Transit bus that seats up to 81 passengers. The district acquired this bus valued at $184,000.00 at no cost to the district through The Fresno County Transportation Authority's (FCTA) Measure "C" school bus replacement grant. The 2021 school bus was granted to us to replace our 1990 Chevy van conversion school bus that is valued at $900.00 with a maximum seating capacity of 8 passengers. Thanks to FCTA and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, we have a total of 9 buses that have been acquired at little to no cost to the district.
Special shout out to our Supervisor of Transportation, Mario Vargas, and his team for making it possible to obtain a new school bus for the students of Parlier Unified School District!
