By Eve

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has awarded nearly 32 million dollars in grants to support the purchase of electric school buses and the installation of public charging infrastructure. The funding is part of the state's efforts to expand electric vehicle adoption and reduce emissions in the transportation sector. Details on the number of buses or charging stations funded were not specified in the available information.

Why it matters: This substantial state grant programme creates immediate procurement opportunities for school bus manufacturers, charging equipment suppliers and installation contractors across New Jersey. The funding signals continued public sector commitment to electrifying fleets, which can help CPOs and infrastructure providers plan capacity expansions in the region.
