This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through its Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049), will fund the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to replace 32 non-zero-emission school buses with new zero-emission electric vehicles across four school districts in Indiana.
The total award amount is $15,644,277, with an effective date of January 1, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027. In addition to the vehicle replacements, the grant will also cover the purchase and installation of necessary charging infrastructure, as well as workforce development and training to support the maintenance, charging, and operation of the new zero-emission buses. The expected outcomes include reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, leading to cleaner air and improved health in the communities served by these school districts.
