Technical Note for a Dataset of U.S. School Bus Fleets

Abstract

This technical note describes the methods used to create a dataset of the composition of school bus fleets in the United States. The dataset contains data from 46 states and the District of Columbia, with information including the school district that the school bus serves, its model year, fuel type, manufacturer, seating capacity and ownership model. WRI researchers compiled the dataset by submitting records requests to state governments between March and November 2022.
