Students at Bloom Township High School District 206 will board electric school buses likely beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.
Navistar engineer Eric Jiang explains to Jefferson Junior High students how the powertrain on an electric bus functions during a visit in August 2018, by the Lisle company to the Naperville school.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021 gives the EPA authority to offer rebates to replace existing school buses with clean and zero-emission models to reduce harmful emissions from older, dirtier buses, according to the agency’s website.In October, the agency announced the first round of funding, which allows for $5 billion for low and zero emission school buses over the next five years.
Jefferson Junior High seventh graders check out how an electric bus functions by peering into windows placed in the bus floor in 2018. The money will fund 25 electric school buses, Horak said. The district uses 50 to 60 buses a year, so about half the district’s bus fleet will be electric, he said.
