Nearly 400 school districts spanning all 50 states and Washington, D.C., along with several tribes and U.S. territories, are receiving roughly $1 billion in grants to purchase about 2,500 “clean” school buses under a new federal program.


The Biden administration is making the grants available as part of a wider effort to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehiclesand reduce air pollution near schools and communities. Vice President Kamala Harris and Environmental Protection AgencyAdministrator Michael Regan announced the grant awards Wednesday in Seattle. The new, mostly electric school buses will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save money and better protect children’s health, they said.


As many as 25 million children ride yellow buses each school day, and they will have a healthier future with a cleaner fleet, Harris said.

Well, most school buses run on diesel, so they are both filthy and expensive to operate.
