EPA announced this week that it has awarded about $900 million to school districts across the country to buy clean school buses.
The money will come in the form of rebates to participating school districts, and it will help pay for about 3,400 buses in 531 school systems in 47 states, plus the District of Columbia and several tribal regions and U.S. territories.
This is the third time EPA has doled out money for clean school buses through a program that was established under the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law. Cumulatively, EPA has awarded about $3 billion for 8,500 buses.

About 90 percent of the funding has gone to electric buses. Most of the rest has been for propane-powered buses.
