"Massachusetts communities are already benefiting from millions of dollars of federal investments to help them buy clean school buses, and I believe they will also be competitive for the newly announced funds.

"Communities of color are disproportionately exposed to this risk. Furthermore, the greenhouse gases that are emitted by diesel buses contribute to the climate crisis.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Any municipal government entity responsible for providing school bus service to one or more public school systems, or for purchasing, leasing, licensing, or contracting for service of school buses, is eligible to apply, and I highly encourage you to submit an application for this funding opportunity.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Electric school buses are an important investment in our children's future, and a "power-full win for school districts, electric utilities, and the planet.' I highly encourage you and your members to make the most of the opportunities provided through the EPA Clean School Bus Program, and look forward to working with you to bring this funding home to communities across Massachusetts."
