EEI has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Beneficial Electrification League (BEL), a nonprofit organization that works closely with electric cooperatives and public power providers on electrification initiatives, to pledge our support for electric school bus deployment and the implementation of EPA’s Clean School Bus Program.

The first round of rebates, announced last October, made $965 million available to fund more than 2,400 clean school buses—95 percent of which will be electric.

EEI’s member companies will provide assistance to school districts throughout the electrification process, including technical support and guidance.
