IC Bus^® supports Cumberland International in educating customers on funding opportunities for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean School Bus Program. The federal rebate program has allotted $5 billion over the next five years to replace current school buses with alternative fuel or electric vehicle (EV) models. Through customer education and grant writing support, IC Bus has helped more than 230 school districts – many of which are in high-need or low-income areas – take their first step toward electrification.

Ashley Scurlock, (Cumberland’s Bus Account Manager), has been a huge ambassador in this effort.  She traveled across the state meeting with school boards, transportation directors and district superintendents to educate them and answer all the questions they had surrounding electric buses.   Ashley worked with 19 customers and identified nearly 60 eligible buses for the EPA Clean School Bus Program rebate funding.
