President Biden and I have made the largest-ever investment in clean school buses — including $900 million announced today for more than 500 school districts across our nation.

We are putting electric school buses on the roads to help ensure every child can breathe clean air.

I am thrilled to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with our Biden-Harris Administration team. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do.
