Webinar: An Overview of New Jersey's Electric School Bus Program Solicitation Round 2
Electric school buses are better for air quality, student health, and long term operating costs than any other type of bus, but starting to transition your fleet can be daunting. DEP's Electric School Bus Program is here to help with every step of the process, and the application period for Round 2 opens on August 4th!
Join an introductory webinar with speakers Claire Sugihara, Sydney Hayes, and Sarah Stalcup-Jones to learn about the details of this year's solicitation and participate in a live Q&A session.
The webinar is scheduled for August 6th, 2025 from 12pm-1:30pm ET.
