This $449,707 project grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7, under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039), will fund Leonardo Academy Inc. to replace 10 older diesel-powered school buses with new propane-powered buses. The recipient will provide quarterly progress reports and a final report on meeting the grant's terms and conditions. This replacement is expected to reduce hazardous diesel emissions and result in lifetime reductions of 4.1 tons of nitrogen oxides, 0.35 tons of particulate matter 2.5, and 210.3 tons of carbon dioxide. There are no subrecipients; the recipient is solely responsible for procuring replacement buses and completing the project by September 30, 2023.
