Zero Emission School Bus Grants

The Washington State Department of Ecology offers grants to public, tribal, and charter schools for the replacement of diesel school buses with zero emission school buses, including associated fueling infrastructure. Grant awards may be up to 100% of the incremental cost of a zero emission school bus up to $50,000 per bus. Applicants may receive grants for up three buses. Increased funding is available for schools located in a small or rural local education agency or for schools in which over 50% of students are eligible for free reduced price lunch program. For more information, see the Department of Ecology Clean Diesel Grants website.
