The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $20,374,355 project grant to the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) under the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049) established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The grant provides funding for LAUSD to replace numerous existing non-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, such as school buses, with new zero-emission vehicles. This project will also support the purchase and installation of associated charging infrastructure, as well as workforce development and training programs to maintain and operate the new zero-emission vehicles. The project will include two sub-awards - one to LAUSD's Division of Adult and Career Education to develop a training program for LAUSD mechanics, and another to LAUSD's Eco-Sustainability Office to oversee the procurement, installation, and commissioning of the vehicle charging infrastructure. The expected outcomes include reductions in nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide emissions, improved air quality in the communities served by the school district, and increased public awareness and engagement around zero-emission vehicle technologies.
