The U.S. Environment Protection Agency is set to present a $690,000 ceremonial check to the Iola Unified School District. The check is part of the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program. The program funds electric buses, which produce zero-tailpipe emissions, as well as propane and compressed natural gas buses, which produce lower tailpipe emissions compared to existing school buses. According to the EPA, the school district will use the funds to purchase two electric school buses and install charging infrastructure. The presentation is set for Thursday, September 26 at 11 a.m. at the Iola Elementary School.
