Description:
This agreement provides funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to Student Transportation of America, Inc. to replace existing school buses with zero emission school buses.

Activities:
The activities include replacing 32 diesel school buses with 32 Class 7 zero emission school buses and installing alternating current and direct current fast charging infrastructure. The new school buses will serve Bloom Township High Schools District #206, Milwaukee School District, Evanston/Skokie School District #65, and Consolidated High School District #230.

Subrecipient:

Outcomes:

There will be a strict anti-idling policy and speaking engagements including school buses and electric vehicle events and shows.

The direct beneficiaries include residents of these communities and school children in the districts.
