Clean Yellow Fleets for Blue Skies Program: 2003-2005
Recognition Banquet
Since 2004 the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) has been working with 14 Front Range school districts on a school bus emissions reduction project. The RAQC and its partners secured $1.35 million to invest in this local project. The program completed installations of retrofit equipment in December 2005. The program successfully retrofit 1,100 school buses throughout the Front Range and used a lower-polluting biodiesel fuel to power the buses.
In celebration of the program’s success, the RAQC organized a recognition banquet for all of the school districts and program partners. Awards were distributed to each program participant and partner. A RAQC board member and a third-grader from one of the participating school districts were the key note speakers. The banquet was a great event to bring participants together and highlight their efforts. Photos from the banquet are below:
