Biden Administration Invests $1.5 Billion in Electric Buses

The investment aims to support U.S. manufacturing, reduce pollution, and create jobs as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The Biden administration announced a $1.5 billion investment in electric buses, aiming to meet national climate and equity goals.
The investment is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which has already funded more than 2,900 low- and zero-emission buses since November 2021.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg highlighted the benefits of the investment, including reduced traffic congestion, pollution, and the creation of more jobs.
The funding will support the manufacturing of U.S.-built zero-emission and low-emission buses, along with charging equipment and workforce development.
Past recipients of federal funding for clean buses include transit agencies in Washington, Seattle, Ohio, and the White Earth Reservation in Montana.
