EPA to provide funds for alternative fuel buses

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is awarding more than $3 million in rebates to replace 210 older diesel school buses with new buses. According to a press release, 76 school bus fleets in 30 states will receive rebates through EPA’s Diesel Emissions Reduction Act funding. The Propane Education & Research Council says six of the 76 school districts taking part chose propane autogas for their fleets.
