When the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced and opened applications for a new school bus procurement funding program last fall, school districts from every corner of the country rushed to apply. Unfortunately, over 70 Pennsylvania districts from across the Commonwealth were waitlisted or deprioritized for funding from the nationwide Clean School Bus Program. There simply wasn’t enough funding set aside to meet the enthusiasm of school administrators for electric school buses in Pennsylvania.
Florida currently has the nation's second-highest number of electric vehicles and the second-largest network of charging infrastructure in the Southeast. But those numbers – and the potential economic and consumer benefits that additional EV adoption offer Floridians – aren’t always reflected by how legislators in Tallahassee treat the issue of an electric transition. That’s why Advanced Energy United, the Electrification Coalition, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Drive Electric Florida, the Alliance for Transportation Electrification, and several others sponsored an Electric Vehicle Day at the Florida Capitol last week. .png?width=620&height=310&name=What%20to%20Watch%20in%20the%20Energy%20System%20in%202023%20(and%20Beyond).png)
