Utah has utilized $7.5 million from the Clean School Bus Program to transition to electric buses. Schools like Uintah have already saved around $65,000 annually due to lower electricity costs compared to diesel. Despite some implementation challenges, the electric buses have shown promising results and fewer maintenance issues. The program continues with further funding to support additional electric buses in the state.
The Uintah School District received $3.95 million for electric buses and chargers in the first round of funding.
The district began operating its 10 Blue Bird electric buses in the 2023-2024 school year at no cost to taxpayers.
