School Bus Retrofit Grant Program

The School Bus Retrofit Grant Program was discontinued in 2016 due to a lack of eligible school buses that met model year and post-retrofit service period requirements.

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Clean Diesel School Bus Fund Retrofits Grant Program, which offers grants to retrofit school buses operating on diesel fuel. Priority is given to school districts in communities that do not meet the federal air quality standards for fine air particulates and districts that employ anti-idling policies to reduce emissions from their school bus fleets.
