(August 24, 2017) — IC Bus has announced a new, environmentally friendly grant program that provides school districts with incentives to add propane-powered school buses to their fleets. 
The IC Bus Grant Program will offer qualifying school districts throughout the United States and Canada $5,000 in grants per newly purchased propane-powered CE Series school buses. This grant gives those school districts that would like, or are planning to make the switch to propane, more flexibility in their purchase decision. The grant can be used toward items such as buying additional buses, investing in new technology, hiring additional drivers, infrastructure updates to maintenance facilities, among other uses that the school district prioritizes.
"With today's advanced propane-powered buses offering an added dimension of environmental benefit, IC Bus is committed to doing what's right for our customers and for the environment, to create a better world by creating better buses," said Trish Reed, vice president and general manager, IC Bus. "School districts frequently stress to us their desire to pursue environmentally friendly fuel choices. The IC Bus Grant Program reaffirms our commitment to continue developing affordable, reliable, safe and environmentally beneficial school bus options."
The IC Bus® CE Series school bus powered by the Power Solutions International (PSI) 8.8-liter LP propane engine is purpose-built for the school bus industry. The CE Series with PSI propane engine is designed to provide diesel-like performance with higher torque at lower engine speeds, while lowering emissions and reducing maintenance costs.
