Purpose
The ZESBI incentive project hosts a single application for eligible local educational agencies to apply for zero-emission school bus incentives through the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and charging infrastructure incentives through the California Energy Commission (CEC).
At least $55 million in state funding is now available for the procurement of zero-emission school buses and supporting charging infrastructure on a first-come, first-served basis. During this pre-application period, applicants can begin to upload documentation and fill out their application. Applicants will be able to submit their application during the application acceptance period, beginning on Tuesday, November 17th at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.
Up to 10 percent of the total grant award can be used towards “School Transportation Program” costs, such as, but not limited to: zero-emission workforce training; technical assistance; charger or zero-emission bus repairs; transportation department shop equipment; or transportation yard improvement projects.
You can find more information including program requirements, information on how to prepare for an application, and a recording of the Application Information Session online on the ZESBI website.
