The Clean School Bus program provides up to $5 billion over five years to replace existing school buses with zero-emission and clean school buses. Priority is given to high-need local education agencies, rural local education agencies, and tribal schools. Grants and rebates fund the purchase of new electric and propane buses to replace older, higher-polluting diesel buses.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.
Are you a local educational agency, state educational agency, Indian tribe, or tribally operated school?
Are you currently enrolled as a student?
Buses being replaced must be diesel-powered and at least 10 years old?
Can you demonstrate the ability to manage and complete the replacement project?
Priority given to applicants serving high-need areas, rural communities, and tribal nations
Do you commit to retiring replaced diesel buses — they cannot be resold or transferred?
