School buses in Metro Atlanta are getting cleaner with a new fleet of low-emissions buses on the way to several school districts in the area.
Clayton County will receive almost $10 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The money will go toward buying 25 electric school buses and 25 charging units.
It’s part of the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program, in which $5 billion will be distributed for school districts to buy low and zero-emission buses; the federal bipartisan infrastructure law will fund the money. In addition to Clayton, 14 other Georgia school districts will benefit from the program as well.
