Clean School Bus Program — CFDA 66.045

Clean-school-bus obligations at $1.77 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.8 billion — $1,769,538,831.04 in obligations under CFDA 66.045. Six hundred thirty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.78 million per award — consistent with fleet-replacement grants rather than a single-bus voucher. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical bus price or a per-vehicle rebate.

The assistance-listing title is CLEAN SCHOOL BUS PROGRAM. CFDA 66.045 is the identifier. Other EPA diesel or school-transport listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.77 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined clean-fleet total this packet does not contain.

275 recipients across 51 states

Two hundred seventy-five recipients share 636 awards, or about 2.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.77 billion evenly would assign about $6.43 million per recipient. That pattern is a local-fleet roster, closer to school districts and transit operators than to 50 state agencies. The packet does not list the 275. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of buses.

Fifty-one states in the geographic count is a near-complete map. Clean-school-bus dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Two hundred seventy-five recipients against 636 awards is a local-fleet roster, closer to districts than to 50 state education agencies. About $2.78 million per award is fleet-replacement scale, not a single-bus rebate. Fifty-one states in the geographic count is a near-national map. The $1,769,538,831.04 obligation stock still does not report buses delivered, charger ports, or diesel gallons avoided. Other EPA diesel listings stay outside CFDA 66.045. Quote 636 as assistance rows and 275 as named organizations.

Award count is not a bus count

Among EPA assistance listings, 66.045 is a mid-volume file: 636 rows against 275 recipients. Multi-year fleet rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique operators. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of buses replaced.” Recipients (275) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (636) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report vehicle counts, charger ports, or diesel gallons avoided. Citing 636 as buses would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.77 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against clean-school-bus awards — are not in the packet. A district can show a large obligation stock while a manufacturer payment follows a later delivery. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 66.045 to size this Clean School Bus Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a diesel-emissions reduction, transit-bus, or highway formula dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 66.045.

What the 66.045 tables omit

The Clean School Bus hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a fleet inventory, not a charger map, and not an emissions model. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,769,538,831.04. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 636 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 51 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on buses.

Where the 66.045 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 66.045 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other EPA listings. For 66.045 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 66.045’s 636 awards spread $1,769,538,831.04 across 275 recipients and 51 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Two hundred seventy-five recipients remain the organizational headcount on this extract.
