The Legislature finds and declares that there are many schoolbuses operating in this state which are not fuel efficient and do not meet current federal standards of safety, and that ensuring the safety of schoolbus transportation is a matter of the highest importance. It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this part, to create a program for the purchase of new schoolbuses which meet federal safety standards and operate with greater efficiency and produce fewer adverse air emissions than the vehicles being replaced. It is further the intent of the Legislature that the replacement schoolbuses provided under this program be distributed to as diverse a selection of districts as is consistent with safety and energy considerations.
