This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039), provides $4,500,000 in funding to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to replace up to 22 heavy-duty class 8 diesel trucks with new zero-emission drayage trucks. The goal is to reduce emissions of diesel particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and exposure to diesel air toxics in the South Coast Air Basin of Southern California. The award period runs from October 1, 2024, to November 30, 2028. The expected outcomes include significant annual and lifetime reductions in NOx, PM2.5, HC, CO, and CO2 emissions, primarily benefiting residents in the South Coast Air Basin. SCAQMD, a state government agency, will directly implement this project without any sub-award arrangements.
