schoolbus -- AB 923 Funds for Zero-Emission School Bus Fleet Expansions & Conversions
Posted: 14 Oct 2015 11:01:13
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has posted Mail-Out #MSC 15-19 Lower Emission School Bus Program (LESBP) - Using Assembly Bill 923 Funds for Zero-Emission School Bus Fleet Expansions and All-Electric School Bus Conversions. Mail Out #MSC 15-19 allows fleet expansion for purchases of zero-emission school buses, including new zero-emission school buses and zero-emission school bus conversions using a new school bus chassis. The new zero-emission school bus is not limited to a certain gross vehicle weight rating. Furthermore, Mail Out #MSC 15-19 provides guidance for funding all-electric school bus conversions using AB 923 funds. The Mail-Out may be found on ARB’s webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/bonds/schoolbus/advisory/advisory.htm . For more information about the Lower-Emission School Bus Program, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/schoolbus/schoolbus.htm . If you have questions regarding Mail-Out #MSC 15-19, please contact Ms. Lisa Jennings, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 322-6913, or via email at lisa.jennings@arb.ca.gov . Background: The primary goal of the LESBP is to reduce children’s exposure to both cancer-causing and smog-forming pollution. Conversion to electric school buses can be a vital component of the program as school buses typically remain in service for extended periods of time. Significant emission reductions that are immediate and benefit children’s health result from an electric school bus conversion. California is in a drought emergency.
