This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean School Bus Program (CFDA 66.045) provides $12,408,354 in funding to Student Transportation of America, Inc. to replace 32 diesel school buses with 32 Class 7 zero-emission electric school buses and install AC and DC fast charging infrastructure. The new electric school buses will serve school districts in Illinois, including Bloom Township High Schools District #206, Milwaukee School District, Evanston/Skokie School District #65, and Consolidated High School District #230. The expected outcomes include reduced harmful emissions along school bus routes, improved air quality for students and surrounding communities, and the implementation of a strict anti-idling policy. There will also be educational outreach and events focused on electric school buses and electric vehicles.
