Unlock Financial Incentives for Zero Emission School Buses in New York State

Switching to electric or other zero-emission technologies not only contributes to sustainability but also brings significant financial support. New York State is dedicated to promoting a greener future by offering funding incentives for zero-emission school buses.

New York School Bus Incentive Program (new!)

Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced a major boost for sustainable transportation efforts - the availability of $100 million in funding dedicated to advancing zero-emission school buses. This financial support is part of the monumental $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022, emphasizing the state's commitment to environmentally friendly school transportation.

EPA's Clean School Bus Rebate Program

The EPA's Clean School Bus Rebate Program for 2023 presents a crucial opportunity for school districts and fleet operators to enhance their transportation fleets with cleaner, more sustainable options. It is important to note that the application deadline for the 2023 Clean School Bus Rebate Program is January 31, 2024 - underscoring the need for interested parties to act promptly and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to contribute to a greener and healthier future for students and communities.

These funding opportunities can be combined with equipment and infrastructure funding opportunities that will even further reduce the cost-burden for schools. Now is the time to act!
