Chairs Rodgers and Griffith Announce Oversight Hearing with EPA Inspector General on Biden's Electric School Buses

Press Release

"To advance their rush-to-green agenda, President Biden and Congressional Democrats set aside billions of taxpayer dollars for an electric school bus program that is divorced from the reality of what school districts could practically implement safely and efficiently. Issues such as limited EV infrastructure, supply chain constraints, as well as inclement weather-related complications raise serious concerns regarding whether EV buses can perform as effectively as traditional fleets at this time. Further, these limitations in rolling out the project elevate the risk for waste, fraud, and abuse. This hearing builds upon our investigation into the spending of infrastructure bill funding as well as work from the Environmental Protection Agency's Inspector General, and it will give members an opportunity to examine one specific program vulnerable to misuse."
