From the meeting
Ecology's Electric School Bus Grants program was built on Volkswagen settlement work and later scaled with state and CCA funding. The report says the program started with about $11 million in the initial VW round and then expanded through subsequent funding cycles. It continues through competitive grant rounds, with ongoing reimbursement, scrappage verification, and technical assistance.
The buying signal is sustained grant administration and possible future funding rounds for districts and bus providers.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
