Syracuse, N.Y. -- School districts in New York can get up to four extra years to buy all-electric buses, according to legislation signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul today.

Previously, state law required districts to stop buying combustion engine buses in 2027. By 2035, all school buses in New York must run on a battery.
