This $5,600,000 Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049) supports Birmingham City Schools in Alabama to replace 20 non-zero emission Class 6 and Class 7 heavy-duty vehicles, such as school buses, with new zero-emission vehicles. The funding will cover the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of the new zero-emission vehicles and associated charging equipment, as well as workforce development and training for drivers, mechanics, and first responders. The anticipated outcomes include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality and health benefits for the local community, increased internal workforce capabilities, and greater community awareness and acceptance of sustainable transportation.
