Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema reportedly delivered $8,345,000 through the Arizona Clean Schools Bus program for school districts.

As part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Schools Bus program rebate competition — which was funded through Senators Kelly and Sinema’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — the award recipients will be able to replace a total of 30 older, diesel school buses with electric school buses.

“The impact of our bipartisan infrastructure law is reaching everyone, including kids,” Sen. Kelly said in a prepared statement. “This investment will help schools in Arizona replace old buses so more students can ride zero-emission vehicles, improving health outcomes and reducing pollution.”

Sen. Sinema echoed a similar sentiment.

“Today’s $8.3 million investment from my Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will bring 30 electric buses to Arizona — helping students travel safely to school while ensuring a cleaner and healthier Arizona.”
