Electric School Bus Funding and Benefits
Learn how to secure federal and state funding for electric school buses
Don’t leave the benefits and funding sources on the table! An EPA Clean School Bus Program Rebate round is now open with a due date of Thursday, January 9th, 2025. Start planning now for additional rounds to be announced in the future.
Join us to learn firsthand accounts of the benefits of transitioning your fleet to electric, about available funding options, and what it takes to electrify a depot from Pennsylvania districts that have electrified their buses.
Electric school buses not only result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and cleaner air, they also save on maintenance and fuel costs, can provide power back to the grid or buildings during emergencies, and have been linked to improved academic outcomes.
