LA28 Selects Highland to Supply 500 Electric School Buses for Games

Local electric school buses will serve as zero-emission transportation during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, reducing costs and supporting sustainability goals, officials said.

  • On Monday, Mayor Karen Bass announced LA28 chose Highland Electric Fleets to deploy 500 zero-emission buses for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California.
  • Rather than buying new vehicles, organizers will repurpose electric school buses owned by local school districts, which remain idle during summer, to support Los Angeles climate and electrification agenda.
  • Operating the fleet, Highland Electric Fleets will oversee daily logistics, charging, depot management and on-site support to ensure service continuity across venues, organizers said at L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
  • LA28 called the move a sustainability milestone, with CEO Reynold Hoover saying `Welcoming Highland is an incredible step in the operational execution of the 2028 Games`.
  • As Los Angeles hosts a historic third Olympics, organizers say relying on existing venues supports LA28's pledge to avoid new permanent infrastructure for the 2028 Olympic Games.
