The Dallas Independent School District (DISD) was awarded a $4,660,811 Project Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049) to replace 10 eligible internal combustion vehicles in its fleet with zero-emission vehicles. The funding will support the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of the new zero-emission vehicles, as well as associated charging infrastructure and workforce development activities. The project aims to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in EPA Region 6, with the anticipated outcomes of avoiding 439 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually and providing benefits to the communities served by DISD through reduced emissions, noise pollution, and asthma-related school absences. The award was granted on January 14, 2025, with a targeted completion date of December 31, 2026.
