Councilmember Tom Hucker: "heard complaints... other bidders...were local felt like status as local & minority owned...wasn't given appropriate number of points..." #MCPSElectricSchoolBuses


On March 29, 2022, the Montgomery County Council discussed funding for a new MCPS bus depot.  

During the discussion Councilmember Tom Hucker states that he was recently speaking at a national conference and heard complaints about the MCPS electric bus procurement. Video below and at this link. 

Councilmember Hucker says he spoke with companies who could have bid on the MCPS Electric School Bus proposal but didn't, and companies who bid on the proposal and were rejected. 




In the video clip below, Councilmember Hucker is speaking to Montgomery County Director of General Services David E. Dise.

    Electric buses are a bad idea anyway, especially with heavier loads and vehicles. The physics involved are.simply not up to the specs that an internal combustion engine can.do,.especially.under.the.most adverse of conditions. The physocs.sim0ly aren't there.
