The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a free in-person (and virtual) event in Escanaba on August 18 on vehicle electrification, the use of electric vehicles as mobile laboratories for education, and how to access the Clean School Bus Program rebate funds.

The bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021 authorizes EPA to offer rebates to replace existing school buses with clean and zero-emission (ZE) models.
On hand will be an electric school bus from Three Rivers Community Schools. The district is one of seven in Michigan to deploy the first 17 electric school buses in January 2020. According to Transportation Director Kenni Jean Schrader, the two electric school buses, have saved nearly $43,000 in combined fuel and maintenance savings since being deployed in January 2020. Support for the bus participation at the event is sponsored by World Resources Institute and Michigan Association for Pupil Transportation (MAPT).
“In 2019, EGLE mobilized $4.2 million from a Volkswagen settlement for an Electric School bus pilot – 17 buses in Michigan – “Rolling Laboratories 2019,” said Irene Queen, EGLE environmental analyst. “This pilot included opportunities for STEM education in the area of electric vehicles that are used as “Rolling Laboratories.” The event in Escanaba provides an opportunity, not just to learn about grant opportunities from EPA and Michigan for electric school buses, but to emphasize the educational inspiration that an electric school bus can have in a district.”
“EGLE’s Environmental Education program is dedicated to assisting all Michigan schools in achieving their environmental goals through providing education and supporting action projects,” said Eileen Boekestein, EGLE’s environmental education coordinator. “This event highlights energy curricula resources available through EGLE Classroom and action opportunities through the Michigan Green Schools program, which became a part of EGLE in 2021.”
The event will take place in person from 1 to 4 p.m. at Bay College in Escanaba and will have a virtual option for those unable to attend in person.
A speakers panel will cover:
The Clean School Bus Program rebate application deadline is August 19, 2022. A Unique Entity ID from SAM.gov is required. Applicants who need to obtain one should request one immediately, as it takes several weeks to complete the request.
Registration is required for the webinar but not for the in-person session.
