State Rep. Stephen Huffman
2017 School Bus
Rebate Program Applications Open
COLUMBUS—State Representative Stephen Huffman (R-Tipp City) today
announced that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
is now accepting applications for its 2017 School Bus Rebate Program.
The EPA is offering up to $20,000 in grant money per vehicle to replace
older school buses and up to $6,000 per vehicle for retrofits. New and
retrofitted vehicles will help reduce harmful exhaust emission,
improving the health of students and the community.
“This grant money is an excellent opportunity for schools to invest in
new and improved transportation for their students,” said Rep. Huffman.
“I encourage all eligible local entities to apply through the website
listed below.”
School districts, municipalities, or private entities that operate
school buses through a contract may apply with the application form
available at www.epa.gov/cleandiesel/clean-diesel-rebates. The
application period is open until November 14, 2017 at 4:00 p.m.
