K-12 Schools

The District administers state-funded grant programs to reduce air pollution in public schools (serving students in any grade K-12).  Eligible projects may include:

• School transportation, such as zero-emission school buses and supporting charging infrastructure at any public school
• Zero-emission lawn and garden equipment used - by schools or contractors - at schoolyards and sporting fields in disadvantaged communities
• Composite wood products (including tables, desks, countertops, chairs, and storage cabinets) meeting NAF (no added formaldehyde) or ULEF (ultra-low emitting formaldehyde) standards used at schools in disadvantaged communities
• Air filtration enhancement and replacement using new filters with MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) of 14 or greater used at schools in disadvantaged communities

Assembly Bill (AB) 181- School District Transportation Service Plans

This is information for school districts on consulting with the Air District on Transportation Service Plans to meet the requirements of AB 181.

The Air District does not conduct transportation service planning; but is supportive of transit in general and youth opportunity passes to help students access school via public transit. The agency does offer funding opportunities that may support your plan, including the Carl Moyer Program.  The Carl Moyer Program, administered by the Air District’s Incentives Division, provides funding for zero-emission school buses and associated infrastructure. More information on this funding, eligibility criteria, and how to apply can be found on the Air District’s web page.  Also, the Air District does not provide direct funding for bike and pedestrian infrastructure, we do have some information on our website to help make the case to other agencies about the importance of supporting biking and walking.

School districts that receive and consider the information provided on this web page are considered to have consulted adequately with the Air District.
