"The EPA announced funding for over 2,400 zero-emission vehicles through its Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program, with 70% supporting clean school bus purchases across 27 states."

"This initiative complements the EPA's Clean School Bus program, which has already awarded nearly $3 billion for clean school buses, supporting the transition to electric transportation."

"The new grant program, created under the Inflation Reduction Act, aims to replace internal combustion vehicles while enhancing clean vehicle infrastructure and workforce training."

"With a strong push from the administration, forecasts suggest that 27,000 electric school buses will be built in the US in the next decade, promoting a healthier environment."
