Summary

Under the South Dakota Clean Diesel Grant Program, the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR) provides rebates to assist in purchasing new buses to replace old, high-emitting diesel buses. Rebates will be provided to public schools, non-public schools, state special schools, other educational programs, shuttle, or transit system providers, and school bus contractors.
