Chapman University’s Fowler School of Engineering donated 20 advanced 3D printers to the Orange Unified School District (OUSD), furthering the university’s mission to expand access to state-of-the-art technology and inspire the next generation of innovators.

Veteran OUSD bus driver Damon Nixon has driven everything from diesel to compressed natural gas—but says electric buses are a clear improvement: “They’re faster, smoother, quieter, and there’s no smoke or fumes.”
Since 2021, OUSD has been upgrading its fleet to cleaner, more efficient buses. We now have 17 electric buses on the road, with 17 more on the way. Our fleet also includes CNG, gasoline, and diesel vehicles.
Thanks to new state funding, more districts across California—including rural and underserved communities—will be able to modernize their fleets. OUSD is proud to lead the way in providing safe, sustainable transportation for our students.
