The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $9,079,605 Project Grant under the Clean School Bus Program (CFDA 66.045) to the Lawton Independent School District (ISD) in Lawton, Oklahoma. The funding will be used to replace 23 existing diesel school buses with 23 zero-emission, all-electric school buses. The project will also install 23 Level 3 (DC fast charge) electric vehicle charging stations to support the new electric bus fleet. The anticipated outcomes include annual emissions reductions of 2,955 tons of greenhouse gas, lifetime emissions reductions of 35,454 tons, and increased training for mechanics, drivers, and first responders to operate and service the new electric buses and charging equipment. This grant is part of the EPA's efforts under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to transition school transportation to cleaner, zero-emission technologies.
