Our Capital Services

Grant & Incentive Discovery

There are dozens of funding sources available, from EPA and NYSERDA grants to local utility rebates, but most districts only scratch the surface. We know the full grant and incentive landscape, and we’ll dig deep to identify every opportunity available to you based on your geography, fleet size, and transition timeline. Our goal is simple: make sure you don’t leave money on the table.

Capital Strategy Development

Funding electric buses isn’t about chasing one big grant, it’s about stacking multiple sources in the right order. We help you develop a step-by-step plan that combines grants, tax credits, state programs, and private financing where needed. The result: less financial risk, greater confidence, and a smoother rollout, all while pursuing capital plans that aim for parity with diesel-based operations.

Application & Compliance Support

We don’t just tell you where the money is, we help you get it. From gathering technical documentation to aligning with grant scoring criteria, we work closely with your internal team and engineering partners to submit strong, competitive applications. After funding is awarded, we help you stay compliant with reporting requirements so you’re set up for future rounds.

Financial Partner Collaboration

Already working with a lender? Great, we’ll coordinate with them. Don’t have one? We’ll introduce you to clean energy financing partners who understand school district needs. Our goal is to close the gap between what the grants cover and what you still need to move forward.

Already Working with another Dealer?

No problem. You can still work with us for your planning, infrastructure, and capital needs. We’ll coordinate with them to make sure your bus procurement aligns with your infrastructure timeline, grant deadlines, and service plan.
