State Policy Playbook
Driving Change: A State Policy Playbook for Equitable Electric School Bus Policy
States across the country are taking steps to bring the health, climate and economic benefits of electric school buses to their communities. What have we learned from their experiences? What are the different policy options or tools? What best practices should other states consider?
The Alliance for Electric School Buses, in collaboration with WRI’s Electric School Bus Initiative, has created a state policy playbook with recommendations for policymakers, regulators, advocates and other parties interested in advancing equitable electric school bus adoption.
The playbook covers recommendations and resources across 11 different areas:
- Fleet Transition Requirements
- Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) and Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HDO) Rules
- Utility Programs and Enabling Regulatory Policies
- Funding
- Financing
- Federal Policy Interactions
- Technical Assistance for School Districts
- Manufacturing
- Workforce Development
- Battery End of Life Management
- Equity
