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.

Undaunted K12 announced that six school districts have been awarded federal funds for clean energy projects. These projects will make schools safer, healthier, and more sustainable. This highlights the importance of investing in climate action at educational institutions. These initiatives aim to create resilient learning environments for students.

Brown City School District added an electric bus to its fleet. This was made possible through a $345,000 grant and replaces a 2005 diesel bus, allowing the district to save funds for educational needs. The electric bus, which produces minimal noise, plays the district's fight song at low speeds to alert residents to its presence. With a range of 100 miles per charge, it's ideal for daily student transport, although longer trips will still use diesel or propane buses.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a federal grant to the Inland Power and Light Company, a rural electric cooperative, to purchase wind and solar energy. This grant aims to power approximately 23,000 homes and is expected to create over 450 jobs. The funding initiative is designed to support rural America and disadvantaged communities. The project demonstrates a commitment to reducing climate pollution while providing renewable energy.

The Steelton-Highspire School District installed a 1.7 MW solar array, now meeting 100% of its electricity demands and projected to save $3.6 million over 20 years. By leveraging federal rebates, the district also acquired electric school buses, which save $20,000 in annual fuel expenses. This combination of solar power with on-site bus charging stations avoids costly utility upgrades. This initiative exemplifies how schools can address financial issues and reduce carbon emissions simultaneously.
