The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced an open round funding from the Clean School Bus Rebate Program with up to $965 million available now to school districts. This funding will build on the previous nearly $3 billion in investments being distributed nationwide to further improve air quality in and around schools, reduce greenhouse gas pollution fueling the climate crisis, and help accelerate America’s leadership in developing the clean vehicles of the future. Rebate applications will be accepted through Jan. 9, 2025.
