This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) provides $2,999,649 in funding to the City of Wilmer to reduce mobile source pollution in near-port communities. The key activities include:
Conducting emissions inventory and accounting exercises, analyzing emissions reduction strategies, engaging with port stakeholders, and developing emissions reduction targets. The City of Wilmer will work with sub-awardees such as the City of Arlington, Southern Methodist University, Inland Port Transportation Management Association, and North Central Texas Council of Governments to perform heavy-duty vehicle emissions inventory, provide coordination with stakeholders and local community organizations, and offer technical expertise. The expected deliverables include measurement data on emissions events, formal analyses of heavy-duty vehicle emissions and impacts, specific emissions reduction targets, and community engagement activities. The overall goal is to increase data availability, validate recommendations for port facilities, inform the community, and promote mitigation strategies to improve local air quality.
