These awards are administered through the EPA\u2019s Clean School Bus Program. This funding comes from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Peters and Stabenow helped pass in November 2021.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to have supported the bipartisan infrastructure law that is now providing this funding to help replace school buses across Michigan. We need to be working to tackle climate change, improve air quality and protect our children\u2019s health as they ride to school each day, and these low and zero-emission buses are a great step forward,\u201d said Senator Peters.\n\n\u201cElectric school buses will make a big difference for schools across Michigan. This investment will improve air quality while helping our school districts cut their transportation costs and keep more resources in the classroom. It\u2019s a great step to protect the health of our children and save schools money,\u201d said Senator Stabenow.\n\nToday\u2019s awards are a part of the first $1 billion of a five-year, $5 billion program created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.\n\nEPA\u2019s Clean School Bus Program helps states accelerate the transition to zero emission vehicles, produce cleaner air in and around schools and communities, and save schools money. This program will also drive demand for American-made batteries and vehicles, boost domestic manufacturing, and create good-paying jobs.\n\nThe recipients include:\n\nDearborn City School District \u2013 Dearborn, 18 buses, $7,110,000\n\nYpsilanti Community Schools \u2013 Ypsilanti, 10 buses, $3,950,000\n\nBeecher Community School District \u2013 Flint, 5 buses, $1,525,000\n\nAu Gres-Sims School District \u2013 Au Gres, 1 bus, $395,000\n\nCassopolis Public Schools \u2013 Cassopolis, 3 buses, $1,185,000\n\nHartford Public Schools \u2013 Hartford, 4 buses, $1,580,000\n\nHopkins Public Schools \u2013 Hopkins, 3 buses, $1,185,000\n\nArmada Area Schools \u2013 Armada, 1 bus, $395,000\n\nPontiac City School District \u2013 Pontiac, 25 buses, $9,875,000\n\nHarbor Beach Community Schools - Harbor Beach, 3 buses, $1,185,000\n\nUbly Community Schools \u2013 Ubly, 6 buses, $2,370,000\n\nChesaning Union Schools \u2013 Chesaning, 5 buses, $1,975,000\n\nAlcona Community Schools \u2013 Lincoln, 2 buses, $790,000\n\nMayville Community School District \u2013 Mayville, 2 buses, $790,000\n\nUnionville-Sebewaing Area S.D. \u2013 Sebewaing, 1 bus, $395,000\n\nJackson Public Schools \u2013 Jackson, 21 buses, $ 8,295,000\n\nBritton Deerfield Schools \u2013 Britton, 5 buses, $1,975,000\n\nHomer Community School District \u2013 Homer, 7 buses, $2,765,000\n\nOnsted Community Schools \u2013 Onsted, 3 buses, $1,185,000\n\nSand Creek Community Schools - Sand Creek, 2 buses, $790,000\n\nPentwater Public School District \u2013 Pentwater, 2 buses, $790,000\n\nOjibwe Charter School \u2013 Brimley, 1 bus, $395,000\n\nPellston Public Schools \u2013 Pellston, 4 buses $1,580,000\n\nBessemer Area School District \u2013 Bessemer, 2 buses, $790,000\n\nL'Anse Area Schools - L'Anse, 2 buses, $790,000", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:20:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/peters-stabenow-announce-over-54-million-to-buy-new-electric-buses-for-michigans-schools"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7164158634841442, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
