The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) and California Energy Commission (CEC or Commission), invite you to participate in a public work group meeting to discuss the implementation of incentives for zero-emission public school buses and supporting infrastructure made available by Senate Bill 114 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 48, Statutes of 2023). SB 114 appropriated a total of $500 million to CARB and CEC for the 2023-24 fiscal year to fund zero-emission school buses and supporting infrastructure through grants awarded to local educational agencies. CARB and CEC have named this new funding opportunity “Zero-Emission School Bus and Infrastructure” (ZESBI) grants. At this work group meeting, staff will discuss legislative requirements, application timeline, award amounts, eligible costs, and priority applicants.  Staff encourage the public to participate in the work group and provide feedback on program design prior to the ZESBI grant program’s application launch.
