EPA awarded $965 million in grants to purchase almost 2,700 electric school buses, the second funding round in the agency’s $5 billion Clean School Bus Program.  

Environmental groups spoke in support of a bill that would help assess the reliability of replacing diesel-powered school buses with battery-electric buses.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's FY 21-22 budget plan proposes spending $6.1 billion more on zero-emission vehicles and $1 billion on building electrification.
