The Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 awarded a $2,772,000 Project Grant to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency under the Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA #66.039). The grant will support the Agency's partnership with BNSF Railway to replace nine tier 3 diesel-fueled yard trucks with all-electric yard trucks at BNSF's South Seattle intermodal yard. This project enables the full electrification of BNSF's 20-truck yard fleet and aims to reduce diesel emissions in impacted communities, provide the business case for electrifying BNSF's remaining 11 yard trucks, create outreach opportunities on new electric technologies, foster partnerships between BNSF and local governments, and demonstrate smart charging technologies to manage multiple shifts. The award period is November 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.
