FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky public school districts and private schools that own school buses can apply for funding through a program designed to reduce diesel emissions, Gov. Andy Beshear announced.
The program will provide $310,643 toward replacing aging school buses.
Diesel exhaust contains pollutants that negatively affect health, especially in children, the release said.
Applicants in areas that don’t meet air quality standards, proposals that achieve the most cost-effective emission reductions and applications that demonstrate the greatest reductions in emissions will be given priority.
