What’s your number? By Don Ross, Manatee District School February 8 th 2013

What's your number?

Idle burns fuel

Excessive idle Occurrences 284 Costs $ for 1 day Costs for 185 days $140, Costs $10.00 per student transported Or $ per employee Excessive Idle: what a waste of time and $$

What controls your number? Route Engine size Fuel type Options Air condition Shoe size Weight- bus- Load – fuel capacity ? Short Tall Morning Afternoon Trip Situations Speed Training Tire Spare bus New old Idle time Mechanics

Bus manufacture Bus model Drive Trane Capacity Lift bus Age Road condition Weather Driver new Driver seasoned Driver happy What controls your number?

Driver pre trip?

What is your sign?

Idle Time Thinking it’s time for a change?

How Can You Help! No excessive Idle Time No excessive Drive Time Turn off bus when not needed Seat repairs bus off Idle Time decreases mile’s between oil changes Idle Time increases engine heat and reduces life of components Idle Time burns fuel and waste money

Its cool to be Green! What can you do? Very simple! Turn your bus off. Bus 602 the best idle time in school year! Average 10 min and 2 seconds daily Great Job!!!!

Idle Time decreases fuel mileage Example Bus with 25% idle time has a fuel mileage of 5.9. same bus with 10% idle time has a fuel mileage of 9.75 Do you have $$ to burn?

you want the Truth, I will give the whole truth Now change me!! Are you willing to change, are you sure?

Thank you for not idling!

We anticipate diesel fuel cost savings in three respects. One, the overall cost of diesel fuel is anticipated to drop. While every delivery of fuel we receive varies in price, information from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows a projected price drop of 6.98% in retail diesel fuel costs from 2012 to Follow information obtained from our contracted suppliers supports an anticipated average cost of $3.00 per gallon for the fiscal year. Two, we replaced 48 of our oldest, least fuel efficient school buses with new, highly fuel efficient buses. These new buses will increase our “mile per gallon” efficiency from 5.75 mpg to 7.70 mph for those 48 buses. Three, our new routing software has decreased idle time by approximately 50%. While idle time is a relatively small factor in our overall operating costs, those savings are real. As the worksheet shows, the District’s actual diesel fuel spend in was $2,059,432. Total projected spend for , factoring in the above savings, is $1,594,752. Total anticipated savings from to is, therefore, $464,679. We rounded that figure down to $400,000 to be conservative in our estimates. Manatee Fuel Savings Plan
