Missouri Funding Opportunity: Up To $24,000/Unit To Replace Diesel Buses

LAST CHANCE: The deadline for districts and school transportation providers to apply is Friday, September 14, 2018.

The State of Missouri is requesting applications from schools and school fleet operators to replace old diesel buses. This funding opportunity is open to public and private schools and school districts and for-profit operators of school bus fleets, providing up to $22,000 for each vehicle replaced. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources, which administers the program, anticipates 70-75 bus replacements statewide through this one-year cycle.

Applicants may apply for funding for up to 3 buses if replacing diesel with diesel; however, funding is available for up to 10 buses when replacing diesel vehicles with cleaner alternative fuels such as propane autogas. Districts that use biodiesel blends are also eligible. Shuttle buses, paratransit or any school vehicles not powered by diesel are not eligible.

Interested in using the Missouri funding opportunity listed above to replace your old diesel school buses with new cleaner-burning, economical propane buses? In addition to the up to $22,000 available from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, MOPERC is offering an additional rebate of $2000 on propane school buses!
