This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039) provides $12,992,442 in funding to the American Lung Association to implement initiatives that will reduce emissions of diesel particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and exposure to diesel air toxics in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio. The key activities include the American Lung Association creating agreements with 8 project partners to replace 42 diesel-fueled vehicles across their fleets with cleaner alternatives. The replacement vehicles include 6 zero-emission electric refuse haulers, 18 heavy-duty clean diesel trucks, 5 compressed natural gas refuse haulers, 11 low-NOx compressed natural gas refuse haulers, and 2 zero-emission electric terminal tractors. The anticipated deliverables include completed quarterly and final reports, the 8 fleet partner agreements, and the turnover of the 42 diesel vehicles with cleaner alternatives. The expected outcomes are reduced lifetime emissions, improved outdoor air quality, and the reduction of lung disease in the communities served by the project locations.
