The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has posted Mail-Out #MSC
13-21, titled “The Lower-Emission School Bus Program – Guidance
for Transferring Ownership and Terminating a Contract For a
Grant-Funded School Bus.”    Date: 
This mail-out provides guidance for transferring ownership of
grant-funded school buses (retrofitted or replaced) prior to
completing the ownership and operation time period required by
contract and for terminating the contract for grant-funded school
buses prior to completing the ownership and operation time period
required by contract.  Occasionally ownership of school buses may
need to change to accommodate fluctuations in student
populations, ridership, school bus routes, walking distances, and
school closures.  

The Mail-Out may be found on ARB’s webpage at:

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.
