Dear School Bus Fleet Operator,

There is still a small amount of money left in NYSERDA’s Clean Air School Bus Program, Round 3. To allow time for applications for the remaining funds, we have extended the deadline for applications to December 28, 2012, or until funds are exhausted.

Applicants operating a school bus fleet in New York State can apply for funding to have their currently operating school buses retrofitted with diesel emission reduction technology or diesel fuel-fired coolant heaters. Eligible applicants include municipalities and school districts, and private contractors that own or operate school buses in select counties.

Funding is available on an open-enrollment (first-come, first-served) basis. Through this Program, funds may be awarded for up to 100% of the equipment and installation costs of the eligible emission reduction technologies and coolant heaters for one or more school buses, up to a fixed amount for each type of retrofit.

School bus contractors in the following counties are eligible to apply to the program directly: Broome, Yates, Seneca, Chautauqua, Erie, Niagara, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Monroe, Wayne, Ontario, Livingston, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess. 

You can download the entire program description and application at [ http://www.nyserda.org/funding/1896pon.asp ]http://www.nyserda.org/funding/1896pon.asp.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions at (518) 862-1090 x3411 or [ mailto:ar3@nyserda.org ]ar3@nyserda.org. 

Sincerely,
