The MPCA is now accepting applications from Minnesota school bus owners and operators for grant funds to help fund new electric school buses.
For-profit, non-profit, and public entities, including state, local, and tribal governments that own or operate 1998-2009 engine model year diesel school buses in Minnesota, are eligible to apply.
The approximately $2.9 million available in grant funds aim to reduce emissions and improve air quality and public health by removing older diesel vehicles from operation and replacing them with all-electric models.
Information to help applicants submit proposals can be found on the grant web page. You'll also find details once they become available on accessing an online training designed to assist applicants.
Applications are due August 15, 2023.
