This $6,167,108 federal Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean School Bus Program (CFDA 66.045) will enable the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) to replace 15 existing diesel school buses with zero-emission electric buses. The award will also fund the purchase and installation of 13 slow and 2 fast charging stations to support the new electric buses. Additionally, the project will provide training for FWISD staff, bus drivers, and mechanics on the operation and maintenance of the zero-emission vehicles. This initiative aims to reduce harmful emissions and improve the health and welfare of students and the surrounding community, particularly in the most disadvantaged areas served by FWISD. The project period runs from July 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026.
