New York City to Add 180 Electric School Buses with $61 Million Federal Grant

New York City will put 180 new electric school buses on its roads thanks to a $61 million federal grant, Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday. Adams said the grant would quadruple the number of electric school buses in the city’s fleet, but officials still have a long way to go to meet the city’s climate goal to convert all 5,000 of its school buses to electric power by 2035.

Adams also announced $15 million in federal funding for a new electric charging depot at Hunts Point terminal market for freight trucks. The depot will be the first in the nation, Adams said, and will serve 7,000 trucks a year. Adams said the depot will “help undo a long history of environmental racism” in the area. The mayor credited President Joe Biden for the funding from the federal infrastructure act
