Really exciting to see the first electric school buses supported by the New York State School Bus Incentive Program (NYSBIP) rolling out. Lots more to come! We are currently supporting almost half of the school districts across the state plan for zero-emission school buses. Planning is a critical step in this process and ensures that school districts and their voters have the information they need to prepare for the future and make informed decisions on student transportation. #electricschoolbus #NYSERDA #cleantransportation #cleanair #decarbonization
Beep! Beep! Coming through! 4 new zero-emission school buses delivered to the Shenendehowa Central School District will provide healthier commutes for students headed back to school this fall! These buses are the first of hundreds of electric buses supported by the historic $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act funding through the New York School Bus Incentive Program. Cleaner air for the communities these buses travel through!🔌🚌 NYSBIP launched in November 2023 with an initial $100 million to help school districts get started. NYSERDA is helping school districts across the state apply for funds to purchase electric buses, and almost half of New York's districts are now working with NYSERDA to create Fleet Electrification Plans. Through NYSBIP, the State recently released an additional $200 million for school districts and bus operators to purchase electric buses, charging infrastructure or fleet electrification planning as public schools transition to zero-emission technologies. https://lnkd.in/eCsxxzXi
