New York State school districts are leading the transition to electric school buses, driven by state mandates and substantial funding opportunities. This initiative aims to improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance student health.
NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) created the NY School Bus Incentive Program (NYSBIP) to achieve these State public purposes and assist school districts in meeting the EV bus timelines. The State established a deadline for transitioning to zero-emission buses.
These initiatives aim to make school transportation cleaner and healthier for New York’s students and communities.
Resources are available for assistance in funding and the application process. New York school districts are encouraged to use these resources to meet the mandated transition to electric school buses.
