This $48,471,034 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 under the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049) will enable the City of Boston and Boston Public Schools to replace 125 in-use, non-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles with new zero-emission vehicles. The grant will also fund the purchase and installation of 125 Level 3 vehicle charging stations, as well as provide workforce development and training to support the maintenance, charging, and operation of the new zero-emission buses. The anticipated outcomes include reduced greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions, decreased fuel consumption, improved air quality, and increased public awareness of the environmental and economic benefits of electric vehicle technology. This grant is part of the EPA's broader efforts under the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
