SEATTLE — Vice President Kamala Harris, in Seattle on Wednesday, announced that nearly $1 billion has been awarded to school districts throughout the country to replace older school buses with newer electric and cleaner-running models.
The funding is part of a total of $5 billion for cleaner school buses, to be distributed over five years, included in the bipartisan infrastructure law passed by Congress late last year.
Harris spoke for about eight minutes to an-invite only crowd of several hundred in the bowels of Lumen Field, with a backdrop of four electric school buses.
