(WFXR) — As the summer winds down in Southwest Virginia and as parents and kids start prepping for back-to-school, WFXR is bringing you stories that will affect schools in our area. From 2022 to 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency‘s (EPA) Clean Bus Program will be providing $5 billion dollars, nationally, to replace current diesel buses with low-emission or zero-emission ones. This comes after a bipartisan infrastructure law, which led the agency to ask schools for rebate applications.
