Description: “Transitioning to electric school buses is an investment in both our students and our future.

These buses help create healthier learning environments by reducing students’ exposure to diesel exhaust while offering districts an opportunity to lower operating costs over time and modernize transportation fleets. I encourage school leaders to explore this funding and take advantage of the technical assistance available.” Dr. Gabriella Duran Blakey, Superintendent, Albuquerque Public Schools.

New Mexico’s $54 million Electric School Bus Fund is now open, and funding has already been appropriated and made available to school districts statewide. The funding application is open this summer! The program can cover electric school buses, charging infrastructure, grid upgrades, and training, requiring no upfront capital cost from districts.
