U.S. Senators Call for Additional Funding for Zero-Emission School Buses

Last week, U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla sent a letter to the Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies to request at least $300 million in new funding for zero-emission school buses in the fiscal year 2023 appropriations bill. The letter also calls on the subcommittee to increase access to zero-emission buses and charging infrastructure for school districts in historically underserved and rural communities.
