This $2.1 million project grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 under the Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA #66.039) will fund the University of Colorado Boulder's efforts to replace two diesel transit buses with battery electric transit buses in Boulder, Colorado. The replacement of diesel buses with electric buses is expected to reduce emissions of diesel particulate matter and other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the local area. The grant period runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023, allowing over two years for completion of the bus replacement project and associated emissions reductions in Boulder, Colorado.
