The EPA will provide an overview of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
legislation and seeks feedback from stakeholders on developing a successful
Clean School Bus Program to achieve nationwide deployment of clean and
zero-emission school buses.



Please come prepared to share your feedback on the program, including:



   1. What type of support do you need to plan for, apply for, and
   implement a Clean School Bus (CSB) grant?
   2. How can the CSB Grant Program address gaps in the 2022 CSB Rebate
   Program?
   3. What is the minimum or maximum number of buses school districts want
   to fund under a single grant award?
   4. The legislation allows EPA to give priority to applicants that
   leverage outside resources. Are school districts able to contribute
   financial resources to grant projects?
   5. Are there eligible applicants, such as nonprofit associations or
   eligible contractors (i.e., bus dealers) with the resources to implement
   grant projects that will serve multiple school districts and/or private bus
   fleets?



*NOTE:* Eligible recipients for funding through this new program include:
state and local governments, certain contractors, nonprofit school
transportation associations, and Tribes, Tribal organizations or
Tribally-controlled schools.



*Webinar participants will have an opportunity to speak for up to two
minutes to provide feedback. Depending on participation, not every attendee
may have time to speak, but interested parties may also submit suggestions
about program implementation to cleanschoolbus at epa.gov
<cleanschoolbus at epa.gov>.*





Please share this email with any stakeholders that would be interested in
this webinar.
