Localized Health Impacts Report: Projects Awarded Funding Under Solicitation GFO-22-612 — Electric School Bus Bi-Directional Infrastructure

This Localized Health Impacts Report describes the potential health impacts to communities from projects seeking California Energy Commission (CEC) funding under Grant Solicitation GFO-22-612. This grant initiative is to fund projects that enable managed charging and bidirectional power flow for electric school buses and their associated infrastructure. Under California Code of Regulations Title 13, Section 2343, this report is available for public comment for 30 days before projects can be approved at a publicly noticed business meeting.

CEC staff has proposed four projects for Clean Transportation Program or similar grant funding awards under Solicitation GFO-22-612. Most of these projects have several locations. Based on project site information provided by the awardees, four of the eight communities where these projects are located are considered high-risk communities. Staff does not anticipate a net increase in the pollution burden for the communities where these projects are located.
