First Student and Con Edison completed the first phase of an electric school bus project serving the New York City Department of Education, with electric buses now operating across Brooklyn and Queens. First Student's First Charge trenchless, modular charging infrastructure cut construction costs by 13% by avoiding underground trenching, and Con Edison and NYSERDA contributed project funding, including six bus vouchers and support for four retrofit buses. First Student plans to deploy 40 additional electric school buses for NYC DOE, on top of roughly 490 electric buses operated during the 2025-26 school year, with more than 550 vehicles on order and over 11.2 million electric miles driven.
