The Steel City Charter School in Gary was one of the nine Indiana school districts to win a federal grant to replace diesel-fueled school buses with more environmentally friendly powered buses.
A LionC electric school bus is in the process of being assembled in the Lion Electric plant in Channahon, Illinois on June 5, 2023. Steel City Academy was one of nine Indiana districts receiving funds for cleaner school buses, which it will use for an electric fleet.
“This grant will enable us to introduce brand new electric buses to our fleet, significantly reducing our carbon footprint and reinforcing our commitment to combating climate change and protecting the environment.” Nationwide, nearly about 92% of the 3,400 clean school buses purchased will be electric, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan said Tuesday in a release: “With today’s latest round of funding, we are transforming the nation’s school bus fleet to better protect our most precious cargo—our kids—saving school districts money, improving air quality, and bolstering American manufacturing all at the same time.”
