Dear webmaster,

This is the “Resources” page. It is implemented as an accordion widget.

I’ve left in selected resources from the CURE100 website that may be of interest to you (snapshot as of June 6, 2023) — you can hack out whatever you don’t want.

You could also consider providing a link to CURE100’s Resources page at https://cure100.org/resources.

Remember to remove this section after reading.

CARBON AWARE RESOURCES

BEST Framework

The BEST (Bus Electrification for School Transportation) framework allows for easy comparison of electric school buses and fossil fuel buses. It automatically produces graphical charts of Total Cost of Ownership and Cumulative Carbon Savings. It also serves as a repository of resources to convince School officials, transportation staff and the voting public about the benefits of electric school buses in a quantified manner.
Click here to download the BEST framework, which is in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.
See the “Intro” tab for instructions on how to use this framework.
Email us if you have any problems or questions or feedback.
