The District has $10 million in funds for the Zero-Emission School Bus Infrastructure Program. This program may provide up to 100% of eligible costs for the purchase and installation of charging equipment. Eligible applicants are public school districts, Joint Power Authorities (JPA), and privately owned yellow school buses that are contracted with a public school to transport public school children. Applicants must have a signed, executed contract from the District prior to purchase and/or installation of new charging equipment.
Application Process
Zero Emission School Bus Replacement Program
The Zero-Emission School Bus Replacement Incentive Program provides monetary incentives for the replacement of existing yellow school buses that transport public school children to and from school with zero-emission school buses in disadvantaged or low-income communities within the District boundaries. Visit the Zero-Emission School Bus Replacement Incentive Program for more information.
The District hosted a public workshop to present, discuss, and receive feedback on the Zero-Emission School Bus Replacement Program and the Zero-Emission School Bus Infrastructure Incentive Program. Attendance at this workshop is NOT a requirement for submitting an application.
