The Elbert School District 200 in Colorado received a $180,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039). The funding will be used to replace an old Type C school bus with a new bus equipped with a Tier 4 diesel engine. This will reduce emissions of diesel particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and exposure to diesel air toxics in Elbert County, Colorado. The project activities involve scrapping the old bus and procuring the cleaner replacement, which is expected to result in cleaner air and lower toxic emissions from diesel exhaust. The intended beneficiaries include the local community where the school bus operates as well as the bus occupants. The project period runs from June 1, 2024 to July 30, 2025.
