Electric School Bus Guidebook

Information, strategies, and resources to transition your ESB fleet

The New York State Electric School Bus (ESB) Guidebook contains information, strategies, and resources to assist school districts, contractors, and other stakeholders as they transition school buses in the State to zero-emission operation by 2035. The ESB Guidebook covers a variety of school bus electrification topics, including the environmental benefits of electrification, electric school bus and charger purchasing, available incentives, site planning, workforce training, and operations and maintenance of electric school buses.

The guides will be periodically updated with new materials and information on ESBs and the State’s transition.
