North Carolina has received $26.7 million in federal funds from the EPA's Clean School Bus Grant Program to purchase 114 electric school buses. This funding will benefit 13 counties, with a significant portion going to Durham and Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. The initiative aims to replace older diesel buses, reduce carbon emissions, and improve air quality for students. Governor Roy Cooper emphasized that this investment supports better-resourced schools and a cleaner environment.
