LAUSD only accepted bids for buses operating on alternative fuels. The district operates over 300 alternative-fuel school buses already. The district is comprised of eight local districts with over 678,000 K-12 students.
California also requires lap-shoulder belt seating. Each of the new buses will be delivered with the SafeGuard seat system from IMMI to meet that requirement.
