The School Safety Enhancement (SSE) Grants program provides competitive grants to state educational agencies (SEAs) to develop, implement, and strengthen statewide school safety systems and the physical security of schools. The deadline for submission is July 28, 2026.
Businesses and tax-exempt organizations can claim a federal tax credit of up to $40,000 per qualified commercial clean vehicle under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 45W. To qualify, vehicles must meet depreciation eligibility requirements unless placed in service by a tax-exempt organization. Additional criteria include battery capacity, weight classification, and compliance with specific energy efficiency standards. There is no limit on the number of credits a business can claim, making this an attractive incentive for fleet upgrades. This tax credit is part of a broader suite of federal clean vehicle incentives aimed at accelerating the transition to zero-emission transportation.
