Nassau County approved $7.5 million in federal, state and local funds to buy six electric buses. GusoffTV reports.

These buses are the first of hundreds that are planned, CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reported Monday.

"We will literally go down to zero in our carbon footprint as we migrate over to electric over the next 20 or so years," said NICE Bus CEO Jack Khzouz. "We know we have to move towards having zero emissions," said Nassau County Legislator Tom McKevitt."Over the long haul, this is going to really be saving, not only the environment for Nassau County taxpayers, but also the costs.""Each vehicle will save over $125,000 in maintenance charges and over $400,000 in fuel savings over a 12-year lifespan," said Nassau Legislature Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello.
