This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean School Bus Program (CFDA 66.045) provides $12,431,000 in funding to the San Diego Unified School District to replace existing diesel school buses with zero-emission buses and install AC Level 2 and DC fast charging infrastructure. The activities include purchasing several zero-emission buses and the necessary charging equipment to serve schools within the district. The project also includes providing training sessions for bus drivers, mechanics, and first responders on the new vehicle technologies. The expected outcomes include reduced NOx, PM, and CO2 emissions, improved ambient air quality and health benefits in the communities served by the new buses, advancement in workforce training for zero-emission vehicles, and increased public awareness of the environmental and economic benefits of the project.
