Since the cost of Education is forty percent Transportation due GSA rule 500 which was enacted in 1953. This has been the advent of forced intergration with high emission buses. Unfortunatley, the education administrators have never heard of CALSTART and now are using education funds to pay for fifty year old maintence procedures.

The hardest thing for an education administrator to grasp is:
Oil is clean. It cools and lubricates the engine and picks up dirt. The filter cleans it up. Did you know the city of Oakland is using "AMS/OIL bypass filtration?" And, they save one-hundred thousand dollars in maintence cost by changing filters and analyzing the oil.

ADVANCE VEHICLE SYSTEMS of Chattanooga Tennesse has a twenty-two passenger hybred bus. This bus is eligible for a sixty-per-cent Alternate Data Center Grant and uses electricity and natural gas. California now has one-third the nation's natural gas in San Ardo. Why are we not using this resource? Did you know that Chatanooga has a FREE FARE BUS SYSTEM under FEDERAL-STATE-CITY Grant?

I think we should look at transportation and use electric and natural gas vehicles where possible. THis would eliminate the seven-hundred dollar fee for EPA inspection every county imposses on the school district. If this was applied, I think California could build more schools, help areas such as Wasco to have a good school, and save money to put where it is needed.
