schoolbus -- Lower-Emission School Bus Program Mailout# 12-15-- Expenditure Deadline Extension and Movement of Funds
Posted: 14 Aug 2012 12:52:09
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has posted a Mail-Out that incorporates language from recently chaptered Senate Bill (SB) 1108 into the Lower-Emission School Bus Program Guidelines. The bill includes language that extends the expenditure deadline for Lower-Emission School Bus Program Proposition 1B (The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006) funds and allows for the transfer of funds between air districts. The Mail-Out and related Attachment may be found on ARB’s webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/mouts_12.htm . For more information about the LESBP, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/schoolbus/schoolbus.htm . If you have questions regarding this Mail-Out, please contact Ms. Lisa Jennings, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 322-6913 or via email at ljenning@arb.ca.gov . Background: The primary goal of the ARB's Lower-Emission School Bus Program is to reduce school children's exposure to both cancer-causing and smog-forming pollution. The program provides grant funding for new, safer school buses and to put air pollution control equipment (i.e., retrofit devices) on buses that are already on the road.
