School buses in Metro Atlanta are getting cleaner with a new fleet of low-emissions buses on the way to several school districts in the area.
Clayton County will receive almost $10 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The money will go toward buying 25 electric school buses and 25 charging units.
