WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) Keeping our children safe when they ride school buses and when they board or exit the buses is the goal of a new state grant program. School Districts and companies that transport students can apply for funds to upgrade safety features on school buses and make bus stops safer places. [ ]

The article from Yahoo News discusses a new grant program launched by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aimed at replacing old, diesel-powered school buses with cleaner, electric models. This initiative, part of the broader Clean School Bus Program, allocates $500 million to fund the replacement of approximately 2,500 buses across the country. The program prioritizes districts in low-income, rural, and Tribal communities, aiming to reduce children's exposure to harmful diesel exhaust and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Applications for the grants opened on May 19, 2023, and the EPA encourages school districts to apply to improve air quality and public health.
