The Environmental Protection Agency awarded the Fulton County School District nearly $2 million to replace and upgrade school buses.

The district is being recognized for its efforts to reduce diesel emissions near schools.

In January, 402 new propane-powered school buses will make their debut.

That covers more than half of the buses in the system.
