ELPC is working with parents, school leaders, utilities, and community advocates across the Midwest to accelerate the transition from diesel buses to clean, electric school buses. We’re helping communities navigate federal and state funding opportunities, connect with manufacturers, and identify the best strategies to modernize their fleets. Our team also works to ensure these buses reach the communities that need them the most.

The factsheets highlight where electric school buses are already on the road, where new investments are headed, and which school districts have the greatest opportunity to improve air quality and reduce costs by going electric. Policymakers can see how federal funding is being distributed in real time, and school districts can use the maps to learn from their peers, identify nearby charging infrastructure, and plan for fleet transitions.

These visual resources make it easy to understand the scale of the opportunity and the progress already underway. Whether you’re a parent asking your district to take action, a superintendent planning for long-term cost savings, or a legislator looking at statewide equity impacts, the maps bring the data to life and show how clean transportation benefits every community.
