Electric buses were supposed to save money for Maryland 's largest school district.

A new report by the county’s inspector general found they “led to millions of dollars in wasteful spending” in part due to late deliveries and maintenance issues.

In October 2023 , the school board approved a request to buy 90 diesel buses in light of the electric bus shortfall.
