The World Resources Institute (WRI) Electric School Bus (ESB) Initiative is working to electrify the entire U.S. fleet of school buses by 2030 by ensuring that all new school bus purchases are electric by 2025. This paper explains why and how the ESB Initiative has committed to equity and the process WRI is using to develop and implement the equity framework. It outlines how the ESB Initiative equity framework will guide the project to lead with equity while centering intersectionality as WRI’s overarching approach to project decision-making.
