Texas Rebates
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Bus and Forklift Rebate
The Railroad Commission of Texas Alternative Fuels Research & Education Division (AFRED) School Bus Rebate Program applies to school buses (Model Year 2007 or newer) that incorporate an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) low emission vehicle (LEV) certified LPG system. The rebate is worth 80% of the incremental cost of the LPG system, less any other grant funds used to pay for the incremental cost of the LPG system. Used OEM vehicles and LPG fuel system components are not eligible. AFRED also offers incentives to buyers of propane forklifts that meet 2004 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission standards. Rebate funding is limited.
