Creates an electric school bus infrastructure investment pilot program; appropriation
This bill creates a pilot program to help school districts transition to electric school buses by funding essential charging infrastructure. It allocates $20 million from the state general fund and $20 million from New York's clean energy fund (NYSERDA) to provide competitive annual grants for two school districts per economic development region. Grants cover planning and building clean energy micro-grids, including engineering and land use studies, to support reliable charging systems. The program will run from April 2026 through April 2031, with rules to be established by June 2026.
