Hartford Public Schools will get over $1.5 million dollars from the Environmental Protection Agency to purchase four electric buses. The grants through the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program totaling $54 million in Michigan were announced by US Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters. Cassopolis Public Schools will receive nearly $1.2 million to buy three electric buses. EPA’s Clean School Bus Program helps states accelerate the transition to zero emission vehicles, produce cleaner air in and around schools and communities, and save schools money. This program will also drive demand for American-made batteries and vehicles, boost domestic manufacturing, and create good-paying jobs.
