INDIANAPOLIS — An east side Indianapolis charter school has its first school bus, and it's electric.
Paramount Cottage Home, a Paramount Schools of Excellence, took delivery of the bus Tuesday. The vehicle delivers on Paramount's promise to the Cottage Home Neighborhood Association to use an all-electric bus to reduce air pollution in the area.
"In response to the neighborhood we wanted to make a statement to say that pollution in Indianapolis, especially Indianapolis, is a serious issue and pollution is a health issue as much as COVID is a health issue and we need to pay attention to these issues so we can push our city forward, make a larger difference when we're talking about the health of our future generations," said Paramount's Tommy Reddicks.
The bus can hold up to 60 passengers and can go 125-miles between charges.
