Overview
Grant Description
Description:
This bipartisan infrastructure law (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) grant provides funding to replace 100 existing diesel school buses with 100 clean and zero-emission electric (ZE) school buses and install appropriate electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) to charge the buses.
Activities:
The activities include replacing 100 diesel buses with 100 electric buses and installing EVSE Level 3 charging infrastructure. The new school buses will serve the Pittsburgh School District in Pittsburgh, PA; the William Penn School District in Lansdown, PA; the New Castle School District in New Castle, PA; and the Laurel Highlands School District in Uniontown, PA.
Subrecipient:
No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes:
Deliverables include the purchase of 100 new electric school buses to service 4 school districts and to replace: 45 diesel school buses for Pittsburgh School District in Pittsburgh, PA; 25 for William Penn School District in Lansdown, PA; 15 for New Castle School District in New Castle, PA; and 15 for Laurel Highlands School District in Uniontown, PA. Training on new zero-emission school buses will be offered in all four communities and include driver, mechanic/technician, and first responder trainings.
As per the EPA Diesel Emissions Quantifier, it is estimated that replacing 100 diesel school buses with 100 electric school buses will reduce air pollution on the local level by 100%.
Students, residents, and drivers will benefit from improved ambient air quality in the communities in which the buses operate. Individuals, companies, and the local economy will benefit from increased work opportunities.
