The state of Maryland is providing $4.9 million to help schools buy or lease electric school buses and build charging stations. The program, managed by the Maryland Energy Administration, will help districts replace older diesel buses with quiet, zero-emission vehicles that are better for students and the environment.
The funding will support schools across the state, including those in communities that need extra help updating their fleets. Electric buses cost more to buy but are cheaper to run and maintain, helping schools save money over time.
This investment supports Maryland’s clean energy goals and shows a strong commitment to safe, healthy, and sustainable student transportation.
