Since 2008, DERA grants have funded projects that have significantly improved air quality and provided health benefits by reducing hundreds of thousands of tons of air pollution and saving millions of gallons of fuel. EPA will offer funding for clean school bus funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provides an unprecedented $5 billion over five years for the Clean School Bus Program. In Spring 2022, EPA plans to announce a new Clean School Bus rebate program for applicants to replace existing school buses with low- or zero-emission school buses. EPA may prioritize applications that replace school buses in high need local educational agencies, low-income and rural areas, Tribal schools, and applications that provide cost share.
