OMAHA- The Biden Administration revealed the recipients of the Environmental Protection Agency's 2023 Clean School Bus Program rebate competition, including Omaha Public Schools, Lincoln Public Schools, and Winnebago Public School District. The rebates will help selectees purchase 16 clean buses between them, an endeavor that reflects Biden's aim to encourage zero-emission vehicles.

The investment, according to EPA Administrator Michael Regan, will also boost demand for American-made batteries and vehicles, enhance domestic manufacturing, and create jobs. In total, Nebraska was awarded $3.3 million. Lincoln Public Schools is set to receive $815,000 for three clean school buses, while Omaha Public Schools will receive $1,450,000 for ten.

Winnebago Public School District will receive $1,035,000 for three buses. "President Biden believes every child deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy life and breathe clean air, and his Investing in America agenda is designed to deliver just that," said Regan. The EPA's selections will fund school districts in 47 states.
