Two Democratic senators want to give (almost) the same amount of funding to transit agencies to electrify nation’s bus fleet as President Biden promised to private drivers to electrify their cars.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) introduced the Clean Transit for America Plan, which would provide $73 billion to accelerate electric bus adoption across the country. If it passes in concert with the President’s American Jobs Plan, which provided another $25 billion towards transit electrification, it would mean that EV buses and other vehicles would get close to the President’s $100-billion rebate program aimed at putting EVs into the garages of American residents.
