If approved by the CPUC, the program would be implemented over five years and is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 42,000 metric tons per year, equivalent to avoiding the use of more than 4.7 million gallons of gasoline. One cutting-edge element of the proposal is an electric school bus vehicle-to-grid pilot.
