California ha abierto las solicitudes para los 150 millones de d\u00f3lares asignados en el presupuesto estatal para apoyar a los distritos escolares p\u00fablicos de California en la transici\u00f3n hacia los autobuses de emisiones cero. Los solicitantes pueden recibir hasta medio mill\u00f3n en financiaci\u00f3n para e-buses e infraestructuras.<\/p>\n
La financiaci\u00f3n m\u00e1xima asciende a $395.000 para sustituir los autobuses antiguos propulsados por combustibles f\u00f3siles por opciones de emisiones cero y hasta $100.000 por autob\u00fas para adquirir e instalar equipos de recarga. Los adjudicatarios deber\u00e1n desguazar un autob\u00fas escolar antiguo por cada autob\u00fas nuevo adquirido.<\/p>\n
El plan funciona en cooperaci\u00f3n con la Junta de Recursos del Aire de California (CARB) y la Comisi\u00f3n de Energ\u00eda de California (CEC). La CEC proporciona los d\u00f3lares adicionales para la recarga a trav\u00e9s de su Proyecto de Incentivos a la Infraestructura Energ\u00e9tica para Veh\u00edculos Comerciales de Emisiones Cero (EnergIIZE).<\/p>\n
Las agencias afirman que los autobuses escolares de emisiones cero desempe\u00f1aron un \"papel clave\" en los esfuerzos del estado para lograr la neutralidad de carbono en 2045 y ayudar a proteger a los ni\u00f1os de los impactos sobre la salud de los gases de escape del diesel.<\/p>\n
La nueva ronda es la segunda entrega del Proyecto de Incentivos para Camiones y Autobuses H\u00edbridos y de Cero Emisiones (HVIP). El a\u00f1o pasado, 81 distritos escolares adquirieron m\u00e1s de 300 autobuses de emisiones cero a trav\u00e9s de este programa.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Applications are open to public school districts, public charter schools, joint power authorities, county offices of education, and the Division of State Special Schools of the California Department of Education. Only applicants from small- or medium-sized air districts are eligible, with California prioritising low-income and disadvantaged communities.<\/p>\n
California will accept applications through 29 September.<\/p>\n
About 25 million schoolchildren take a bus every weekday in America, and various states have launched regional funding programs for electric options<\/a>. In California, CARB approved a $2.6 billion investment plan for the state\u2019s transition to zero-emission transportation last year<\/a>. The incentives range from funding for cleaner trucks and buses and mobility options such as bike- and car-sharing to consumer rebates for clean cars.<\/p>\n Nationally, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has freed $400 million in grants for cleaner school buses this year as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law<\/a>, which provides $5 billion in total to transform the yellow fleet across the US. The latest round followed the rebate competition<\/a> launched in 2022 that awarded nearly $1 bn to electric and low-emission school buses across school districts.<\/p>\n
