Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Grants

The EPA Office of Transportation & Air Quality (OTAQ) is soliciting applications under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) for projects that achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions. DERA provides funding to accelerate the upgrade, retrofit, & turnover of legacy diesel fleet vehicles & equipment.

Funding priority will be given to projects that benefit local communities overburdened by air pollution, protect grant funded investments from severe weather events caused by climate change, and that demonstrate an ability to continue efforts to reduce emissions after the project has ended.

Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov NLT Friday,
