Senators Sinema and Kelly announce $40 million investment in clean school buses

(KYMA, KECY) - Arizona Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly announced that they will invest over $40 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in clean school buses for school districts across Arizona. 

According to a press release, "The Clean School Bus Awards will provide 114 electric buses to 23 different school districts across Arizona, and seven propane buses to two school districts in Pinetop-Lakes and Yuma."

"Every child in Arizona deserves to breathe clean air. That’s why our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is making investments to allow more students to ride zero and low-emission school buses that reduce pollution and improve air quality." 

Senator Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.)

"This $40 million investment from my bipartisan infrastructure law will bring innovative and clean energy school buses across Arizona so students can safely travel to school and take steps towards a cleaner, healthier, and safer Arizona."
