H 3769 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to promote a just transition to electric school buses

This bill requires Massachusetts school districts to replace their student transportation fleet with electric vehicles by December 31, 2033, with specific milestones of 50% adoption by 2027 and 75% by 2030. It mandates that schools prioritize this transition on routes serving environmental justice communities and requires robust community outreach to engage residents and advocates. The legislation also establishes a central planning office to manage the rollout, mandates free retraining for displaced workers, and requires annual reporting on progress, costs, and the health impacts of air pollution.
