In early May, George Dapper Inc., a third-generation student transportation contractor in Woodbridge, New Jersey, received two Thomas Built Buses Safe-T-Liner C2 Jouley electric school buses.
According to the release, this milestone makes the company the first in Middlesex County to operate electric school buses, while the delivery contributes the 24th and 25th electric school buses to New Jersey's clean-energy fleet.
