Oldenburg, In. — The Indiana Office of Energy Development recently announced applications are being accepted for the Indiana Propane School Bus Grant program now through Friday, Oct. 19.
The goal of the grant is to increase public school corporations’ access to and knowledge of new propane school buses, which help decrease school children’s exposure to harmful emissions, lower maintenance costs and increase fuel diversity.
Grant recipients will receive between 50 to 100 percent of the incremental costs of buying new propane school buses, which is the difference between a propane bus and a diesel or gasoline bus.
To qualify, Indiana public school corporations must own their buses and have access to propane fueling infrastructure or show they will have access if awarded a grant. Additionally, projects must involve the purchase of a minimum of two new propane school buses.
