Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The agreement provides funding under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to Oakland Unified School District to replace in-use, non-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles with new zero-emission vehicles to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in EPA Region 9.
The recipient will replace 60 eligible vehicles with comparable, eligible zero-emission vehicles under the School Bus Sub-Program, resulting in cleaner air and improved health for the communities in Oakland, California.
This assistance agreement provides partial federal funding in the amount of $15,178,465.00.
Activities: The activities include replacing eligible internal combustion engine Class 6 and Class 7 vehicles with eligible zero-emission vehicles; purchasing, installing, operating, and maintaining charging and fueling equipment to maintain the new zero-emission vehicles; and providing workforce development and training to support the maintenance, charging, fueling, and operation of the new zero-emission vehicles.
Specifically, the recipient will transition 60 fossil-fueled school buses to zero-emission electric buses.
The project also includes charging infrastructure; workforce development training for operations staff, drivers, mechanics, and first responders; community engagement; and electric fleet management equipment.
Subrecipient: The subaward recipient in this program will perform the following activities:
- Implement the project and procure 60 zero-emission electric buses and supporting equipment.
- Conduct training for staff, bus drivers, mechanics, or other electric vehicles service providers.
- Conduct community engagement activities.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include:
- Replacement of 60 Class 6 school buses in Oakland Unified School District.
- Community engagement with impacted stakeholders including operations staff, drivers, parents, school staff, and mechanics.
- Training provided to staff, bus drivers, mechanics, or other electric vehicle service providers.
- Purchase of supporting equipment (battery equalization and diagnostic tool kit) for maintaining optimal operations of buses.
The expected outcomes include emissions reductions along school bus routes including approximate lifetime results of:
- NOx: 11.104 tons
- PM2.5: 0.088 tons
- HC: 0.232 tons
- CO: 5.880 tons
- CO2: 8262 tons
- Fuel: 734,400 gallons
Additional outcomes include advancement in awareness of the benefits of school bus electrification.
The intended beneficiaries include Oakland, CA residents and visitors and residents and visitors of all locations where buses are replaced.
