Investments in Electric and Low-emission School Buses
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invests in making the nation’s school bus fleet cleaner, including:
Electric and Reduced Carbon Buses
EPA’s Clean School Bus Program provides $5 billion over five years (FY 2022-2026) to replace existing school buses with zero-emission and low-emission models.
What This Means
More than 25 million children ride the bus to school each day, some breathing polluted air from diesel school buses. By deploying electric and lower emission school buses, fewer children will face increased asthma risks and other health problems linked to diesel air pollution.
