This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean School Bus Program (CFDA 66.045) provides $5,925,000 to the Sioux City Community School District in Iowa to replace 15 diesel school buses with 15 zero-emission electric buses and install 3 AC Level 2 chargers and 3 DC fast chargers. This investment aims to reduce harmful air pollutant emissions and benefit over 2,200 students who rely on these buses for transportation. The project will also provide training for district staff, bus drivers, and mechanics on the new electric bus technology. Additionally, the school district plans to engage the local community through regular updates on the project's progress and opportunities to experience the new electric buses.
