EPA Clean School Bus 2024 Rebates: Overview and Resources

The EPA’s 2024 Clean School Bus (CSB) Rebates provide funding to subsidize the purchase of a zero-emission school bus, eligible infrastructure and other associated costs. Awarded applications are selected based on a lottery process (as opposed to the evaluation of application materials for the grant program). The EPA plans to award up to $965 million through this round and applications are due before 4pm ET on January 9, 2025. Learn more about the 2024 CSB Rebate Program

Join the School Leadership in Clean Energy (SLICE) Network Q3 2024 meeting on Tuesday, October 29th at 3pm ET, hosted by Generation180 and the Alliance for Electric School Buses (AESB), to learn about the EPA’s 2024 Clean School Bus Rebates and the resources available to K-12 school districts for applying. Awardees from previous CSB Rebate programs will facilitate discussions around the resources that were most useful for their application and how to overcome the barriers in applying for the rebates.

This webinar is available to SLICE Network Members and school staff only. Not a SLICE Member yet? Learn more and apply to join the SLICE Network here.
