About this grant

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.
