The Rural School Bus Pilot Project provided grants for the purchase of commercially available cleaner school bus technologies such as zero-emission (ZE) (primarily battery electric) and low carbon fuel options (renewable fuels). After several years of successful implementation, the Rural School Bus Pilot Project transitioned from a pilot to a full-scale project. As of FY 2023-24, funding was available for both ZE school buses and supporting infrastructure through the Zero-Emissions School Bus and Infrastructure (ZESBI) project.
