The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $7,450,380 Project Grant to the Haverstraw-Stony Point Central School District (North Rockland CSD) under the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049) established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The funding will support the replacement of the district's existing non-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, such as school buses, with new zero-emission vehicles to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in Rockland County, New York. The activities include purchasing and installing charging infrastructure, providing workforce development and training for staff on the operation and maintenance of the new zero-emission vehicles, and engaging the community to educate them on the environmental benefits of the implemented technology. The anticipated outcomes include reduced fuel consumption, lower operating and maintenance costs for the school district, improved ambient air quality, and increased public awareness of the environmental advantages of zero-emission vehicles.
