Two Tennessee school districts share in $1B in electric school bus funds

Two Tennessee school districts have been selected to share in $1 billion being awarded through the EPA’s Clean School Bus Grants program. The Hardin and Warren County School systems will each receive funding to replace five older diesel school buses with new, all-electric buses. A total of 280 school districts in 37 states were awarded funds as part of the latest round of grants. To date, EPA’s Clean School Bus Program has awarded nearly $2 billion and funded approximately 5,000 electric and low-emission school buses nationwide.
