Clean School Bus Program

2022 Clean School Bus Rebates

Application Period Now Closed

With funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, EPA’s new Clean School Bus Program provides $5 billion over the next five years (FY 2022-2026) to replace existing school buses with zero-emission and low-emission models. EPA solicited applications for $500 million through the 2022 Clean School Bus Rebates for zero-emission and low-emission school bus rebates as the first funding opportunity.

EPA will continue to update this page with additional Clean School Bus Program funding information and educational resources.

Clean School Bus Benefits

Cleaner air. Electric and alternatively-fueled buses eliminate or reduce school bus exhaust, which is linked to asthma.
Reduced health risks, especially for children whose lungs are still developing.
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change.
Grid resilience. Using bidirectional chargers, school buses can store energy for distribution to the grid when needed.
