Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC)
Description:
The Fleet Deployment Program offers funding and technical assistance for ESB fleets serving their district. The ACT School Bus Fleet Deployment Program funding is intended to amplify federal funding such as the EPA Clean School Bus Program, support electrification of school buses serving high-needs and priority districts, and to enable successful electric school bus deployment projects that demonstrate major steps toward full-fleet electrification.
