Taxpayers To Fund Nearly $20M In Electric School Buses For Illinois
by Greg Bishop  Dec 20, 2024 

Taxpayers are set to jolt the struggling electric bus industry after Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced nearly $20 million for 70 zero-emission buses at nine Illinois school districts. [emphasis, links added]

On Thursday, Pritzker’s office announced the Illinois State Board of Education awarded a $19.9 million grant from the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program funded by federal tax dollars as part of President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.


Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C is set to get 32 school buses and charging infrastructure.

Joliet Township High School District 204 and Zion-Benton Township High School District 126 will each get 10 school buses and charging infrastructure.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
