Electric School Buses and Low Income and Rural Communities
In 2022, the EPA awarded 25 school districts in Michigan $54 million to fund 138 electric school buses. Although this federal funding opportunity was an important step to providing cleaner transportation for children in Michigan, funding the $150 million state budget proposal will ensure more districts have access to resources to electrify their school bus fleets.
At least 41 rural and low-income Michigan school districts are interested in clean school buses and need financial support.
