Abstract	This study examines the impact of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology integration in school bus fleets on historically disadvantaged communities, focusing on energy resilience and sustainability. V2G technology enables electric vehicles, such as school buses, to discharge stored energy back into the power grid, providing crucial support during peak demand periods and emergencies. Historically disadvantaged communities often face higher energy costs and inefficiencies, with significant disparities in energy expenditures observed across different ethnic and income groups. Hispanic or Latino and Black households, along with lower-income households, bear a disproportionate energy burden. By utilizing the substantial unused battery capacity of school buses, especially those operating within a common 25 to 75-mile daily range, V2G technology can alleviate these burdens. This study explores how V2G-enabled school buses can act as mobile energy storage units, offering financial benefits through cost savings and revenue generation, environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhanced energy resilience. The findings highlight the importance of targeted V2G deployment in regions and communities with the greatest need, promoting energy equity and a sustainable energy future. Comprehensive impact assessments, community engagement, and supportive policy frameworks are essential for the successful implementation of V2G technology, ensuring that its benefits are equitably distributed.
