2023 Clean School Bus Program Grants

You have another chance to apply.

Last year, 400 school districts received federal funding to upgrade their school bus fleet as part of the multi-year Clean School Bus Program.

Your district could be next.
With approximately $400 million in grants available in 2023, the goal of the program is to replace existing buses with clean and zero-emissions school buses. To learn more about this opportunity, you can attend an upcoming webinar.
