For many school districts and private fleet operators across the nation, the exciting work of transitioning to electric school buses now begins in earnest! If you’re working to electrify your fleet, we know you may have questions – and we’ve got answers.

The Electric School Bus Initiative is offering free, impartial support for districts in the process of transitioning to electric school buses, with virtual office hour sessions and one-on-one conversations throughout November and December.

Our expert staff can answer your questions, point you to the right resources and help you get started – all live and free of charge.

For our first group office hours session November 8th we’ll be joined by Tim Farquer, Superintendent of Williamsfield Schools in Illinois, which recently placed its purchase order for buses and chargers awarded through the Clean School Bus Program.

There are two options to join:

  • Our group office hours offer an easy way to get clear information to assist your district and to learn from the questions your peers are considering. With topics including the Clean School Bus Program, foundation setting, charging infrastructure and operations planning, sign up for an office hour session now!
  • Want even more personal support? Sign up for a free one-on-one conversation with Electric School Bus Initiative staff to get your district-specific questions answered. Grab a 1:1 slot today!
