在美國(guó)密蘇里州,李峰會(huì)R-7學(xué)區(qū)慶祝一個(gè)獨(dú)特的方案,使用替代資源產(chǎn)生資金用于技術(shù)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施,以幫助學(xué)生成功。方案,其中包括據(jù)稱是全美最大的校車使用壓縮天然氣(CNG)過(guò)渡,也有利于環(huán)境,為納稅人節(jié)省了美元。李氏峰會(huì)R-7學(xué)區(qū)交通部門是一個(gè)地區(qū)的自有船隊(duì)的149輛校車,每天運(yùn)送約12,700名學(xué)生。

從這個(gè)10年的舉措估計(jì)的1100萬(wàn)美元的總儲(chǔ)蓄的部分將用于購(gòu)買技術(shù)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和設(shè)備,這將有利于所有的R-7所學(xué)校和設(shè)施。

柴油動(dòng)力的校車過(guò)渡到由CNG公交車的同時(shí),也通過(guò)提供壓縮天然氣的公司,并與校車制造商,包括清潔能源伙伴關(guān)系,托馬斯內(nèi)置巴士和中西部地區(qū)客車銷售。通過(guò)此次合作,將轉(zhuǎn)換區(qū)以下車輛使用壓縮天然氣在未來(lái)的幾年里:
- 149輛公交車,
- 學(xué)區(qū)冷藏車用于運(yùn)送食品,
- 約46輛使用區(qū)的設(shè)施服務(wù)的維護(hù)和保管的員工。
106 CNG動(dòng)力公交車交付,2013-14 2014-15學(xué)年交付,其余的正在逐步的新巴士。本區(qū)的學(xué)校巴士行駛約2萬(wàn)公里,每年整體的R-7校車車齡超過(guò)10年之前的CNG動(dòng)力轉(zhuǎn)換。
長(zhǎng)期的燃料和維修費(fèi)用估計(jì)約為11萬(wàn)主動(dòng)與外部資源總額近350萬(wàn)美元。在每加侖成本而言,目前的估計(jì)節(jié)省近70%的燃料成本進(jìn)行比較時(shí),柴油燃料CNG區(qū)。

該倡議包括建設(shè)的壓縮天然氣(CNG)加氣站附近地區(qū)的交通運(yùn)輸部。這家工廠將成為所有學(xué)區(qū)的車輛,而與公共CNG加氣站提供社區(qū)和堪薩斯城都市圈。站,將在2013年秋季向公眾開放,將提供額外的收入為小區(qū)自李峰會(huì)R-7將接受皇族零售CNG銷售。

In the U.S. State of Missouri, the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District is celebrating a unique program that uses alternative resources to generate funds for technology infrastructure to help students succeed. The program, which includes what is claimed to be the nation’s largest school bus transition to compressed natural gas (CNG), also benefits the environment and saves dollars for taxpayers. The Lee’s Summit R-7 School District Transportation Department is a district owned fleet of 149 school buses transporting approximately 12,700 students daily.
The lease-purchase program is part of a continuing emphasis on using innovative funding methods to benefit students and the community by the local school district. The plan includes transition to safe, energy-efficient school buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG); a move toward CNG-powered facility maintenance trucks; and continuation of the district’s use of all-electric delivery trucks.
The changes within the school district’s Transportation Department and Purchasing and Distribution Department will greatly reduce both fuel costs and reliance on foreign oil products while also creating a more environmentally friendly school district fleet.
A portion of the estimated $11 million in overall savings from this 10-year initiative will be used to purchase technology infrastructure and equipment that will benefit all R-7 schools and facilities.
The school bus transition and technology upgrades are currently underway with the first phase of the switch to CNG-powered vehicles taking place this summer. Additional phases of the vehicle transition will occur as buses and vehicles are due for replacement in future years.

The transition from diesel-powered school buses to buses powered by CNG is also made possible through partnerships with companies providing compressed natural gas and with school bus manufacturers, including Clean Energy, Thomas Built Buses and Midwest Bus Sales. Through this partnership, the district will convert the following vehicles to compressed natural gas over the next few years:
- 149 buses,
- a school district refrigerator truck used for delivery of food items, and
- approximately 46 vehicles used by the district’s Facilities Services maintenance and custodial employees.
The new buses are being phased in with 106 CNG-powered buses being delivered for 2013-14 and the remainder delivered for the 2014-15 school year. The district’s school bus fleet travels approximately 2 million miles each year with the overall R-7 school bus fleet age exceeding 10 years before the CNG-powered conversion.
Long-term fuel and maintenance savings are estimated at approximately $11 million with outside resources for the initiative totaling close to $3.5 million. In terms of cost per gallon, current estimates show the district saving close to 70 percent in fuel costs when comparing diesel fuel to CNG.
R-7 to operate CNG public filling station
The initiative includes construction of a compressed natural gas (CNG) filling station near the district’s Transportation Department. This facility will serve all school district vehicles while providing the community and Kansas City metropolitan area with a public CNG filling station. The station, which will open to the public in fall 2013, will provide additional revenue for the district since Lee’s Summit R-7 will receive a royalty on retail CNG sales.
As part of the lease-purchase initiative, the district purchased 1.5 acres next to the current Transportation Department and Facilities Department buildings.
