Highland can help you secure your piece of
EPA’s $5 billion for electric school buses.
The EPA Clean School Bus Program is the largest school bus funding opportunity in U.S. history. With up to $5 billion available for school bus electrification, the 5-year program will open this month with a first phase offering $500 million in rebates.

The application period will open in early May for a 90-day window, with grants awarded through a weighted lottery.
Districts can apply to replace up to 25 buses, and receive up to $250,000 in rebates per bus. Funding is also available for charging infrastructure.
High-need, rural, and tribal districts can receive up to $375,000 per bus—enough to cover 100% of the cost of an electric school bus—plus additional funding for charging infrastructure, and preference in the selection process.
