Billions for Electric School Buses: Cleaner Air and New Jobs.
This Act reauthorizes and significantly expands the Clean School Bus program, allocating billions of dollars through 2032 to replace old diesel buses with zero-emission electric vehicles. The goal is to improve air quality around schools, particularly in high-need communities and polluted areas. The program also funds charging infrastructure and requires manufacturers to commit to creating high-quality jobs in the US.
