Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description:
This bipartisan infrastructure law (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) funded grant provides funding to the School District of Philadelphia to replace existing school buses with clean and zero emission (ZE) school buses.
Activities:
The activities include replacing 20 Type C diesel buses with 20 Type C electric school buses and installing 10 dual Level 2 AC chargers. The new school buses will serve the School District of Philadelphia.
Subrecipient:
The School District of Philadelphia is partnering with Mural Arts Philadelphia (the largest public arts organization in the US) as one of the grant's community engagement activities. Two school buildings along bus routes served by the new ZEVs will receive a mural project and education campaign on school bus electrification, environmental justice, and community health. In consultation with the SDP Facilities Office and individual school leaders, sites will be selected that have not historically received this type of in-kind activity. They are located in areas of the city most adversely affected by environmental, climate change, and human health harms. This mural project will thematically focus on the environmental impacts of energy (from diesel to electric) and its benefits to the larger school community, neighborhood air quality, and the connection between environmental justice and community health.
Outcomes:
The anticipated deliverables include replacing 20 Type C diesel buses with 20 Type C electric school buses and installing 10 dual Level 2 AC chargers. Another deliverable is the partnership with Mural Arts Philadelphia, which is the nation's largest public art program. They will receive $145,000 as a subaward to execute two community engagement mural projects thematically focused on the environmental and health benefits of electrification at two schools where the students will be served by the new zero-emission buses.
The expected outcomes include a net reduction in CO2 emissions, as electric buses result in an 85% net reduction. In total, this project will remove 13.05 million pounds per year of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere in Philadelphia. This will help to mitigate the SDP's contribution to Philadelphia's poor air quality in these communities and subsequent health-related conditions, like asthma.
The intended beneficiaries include the students and faculty of the School District of Philadelphia and residents of the City of Philadelphia.
