The First Zero Emissions Blue Bird All American School Buses Delivered to

Multiple California School Districts by A-Z Bus Sales

Colton, CA, October 02, 2018 --(PR.com)-- A-Z Bus Sales, Inc., a leading provider of transportation
solutions, successfully delivered seven new All Electric - All American zero emissions school buses built
by Blue Bird to multiple school districts in Southern California this past week. These buses were funded
by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and CalStart's HVIP Program.

A-Z Bus Sales was the first and only dealer to deliver the Electric School Buses under the SCAQMD
Grant deadline of September 30, 2018. The Type D All American rear-engine electric school buses are
72-passenger buses and have a similar design to that of many Blue Bird Type D compressed natural gas
(CNG) buses that districts operate in the state today. The California Air Resources Board (CARB)
approved the Blue Bird All Electric school bus for the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher
Incentive Program (HVIP) providing California School Districts with funding opportunities for the
all-electric school bus.

Bellflower Unified School District was one of the school districts receiving the funding for these new
Blue Bird buses. “The main reason we chose to go with Blue Bird was the local support from A-Z Bus
and Blue Bird itself,” said Mark Toti, Bellflower Unified School District Transportation Director.

Mountain View School District was also awarded funding for two electric Blue Bird buses. “We are
extremely impressed with the quality and performance and are eager to make full use of our new fully
electric buses,” said Hector Morales, Mountain View School District Supervisor of Maintenance,
Operations, and Transportation.

“We are very excited to help school districts throughout the state replace their old diesel school buses
with this exciting new Blue Bird technology. With grant programs abounding in California for zero and
near zero emission school buses, now is the time to take advantage of this momentous opportunity,” said
John Landherr, A-Z Bus Sales President and CEO.

“After serving California school districts for over 30 years, A-Z Bus Sales now has Type A, Type C, and
Type D zero emission solutions to assist with almost every student transportation need,” said Brandon
Bluhm, A-Z Bus Sales Director of New School Bus Sales.
