the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday that the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has been selected to receive $6.54 million in funding to assist in the purchase of 26 zero-emission, all-electric school buses through a first-ever Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program.
Several of Utah’s heavy-duty vehicles will be replaced with zero-emission vehicles over the next several years thanks to a $60 million awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties, 15 heavy-duty electric trucks will go to work in disadvantaged communities. That’s because typically underprivileged areas have air pollution problems already. Removing diesel trucks and replacing them with electric zero-emissions trucks will relieve some of that pollution.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this week announced a nearly $8 million investment toward the purchase of 27 new electric school buses for three Arizona school districts as a part of a national effort to improve air quality, fight climate change, and reduce transportation costs

The next step to positioning the town for the future is a project funded with $250,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem Solving Program. The money will support a “clean and lien” program that will clean up abandoned properties to open up new opportunities for tourism, job creation and growth. The grant was made possible through the Inflation Reduction Act.
Everything’s Connected in Presidio: Building Climate Resiliency through Green Infrastructure and Reducing Pollution through Traffic Mitigation at the International Bridge Crossing” aims to prevent extreme heat and flooding, reduce pollution, and create a cooling center as a place of refuge during heat emergencies. The project focuses on climate resilience and pollution reduction through the use of green infrastructure, nature-based solutions, and technology.
Wilkes County Schools (WCS) in Georgia has transitioned to running all 25 of its daily bus routes with zero- and ultra-low-emission school buses. The district has replaced diesel vehicles with 17 electric and propane-powered buses provided by Blue Bird Corporation.
Hart County Schools partnered with CMTA to implement a Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract aimed at modernizing infrastructure, reducing energy consumption, and generating substantial utility cost savings for the district—all while improving the learning environment.
