Clean School Bus Grant Program: Healthier Air for Children

This act establishes a grant program to help schools replace old, polluting diesel buses with new electric ones. The goal is to improve air quality around schools and reduce emissions, directly benefiting children's health and local communities. The program also supports charging infrastructure development and workforce training.
Key points
Schools and transportation providers can receive up to $2 million to purchase electric school buses and build charging stations.
Priority is given to schools in low-income areas, with aging bus fleets, or those that will achieve the greatest emissions reductions.
Replaced diesel buses must be scrapped to ensure a genuine reduction in emissions.
The program aims for nationwide deployment of electric school buses, with a 15% funding cap per state.
