The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) announced it is accepting applications for the Texas Clean School Bus Program, which awards grants to school districts to retrofit diesel-powered school buses with emissions-reduction technology.
Eligible applicants are “any Texas school district, charter school or transportation system provided by a countywide school district.”
A total of $4.7 million is available to reimburse school districts for the installation of pollution-control retrofits on older, diesel-powered school buses. Districts may apply for any amount of funding; however, the TCEQ said funds are limited and that applications will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Interested applicants must apply by Dec. 2 in order to be considered.
