Opportunity Title:
HVIP Public School Bus Set-Aside & EnergIIZE
Description:
The latest application period marks the second year of the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) Public School Bus Set-Aside program, which is an effort to replace aging buses with zero-emission technology. Zero-emission school buses play a key role in California’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 and help protect children who are particularly vulnerable to the health impacts from diesel exhaust. Last year, the project helped 81 school districts purchase more than 300 zero-emission buses.
Infrastructure is a key component of zero-emission transportation, and CARB partners with CEC’s Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles Project (EnergIIZE) to provide funding for needs such as charging stations. Options include vehicle-to-grid technology capable of using the batteries on board the buses to send power back to the grid when demand is high.
Eligibility:
Public school districts. Public charter schools. Joint power authorities. County offices of education. The Division of State Special Schools of the California Department of Education.
Total Amount Available:
$150,000,000
