However, based on the related state and local contract opportunity, this Request for Applications is issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) under the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) to administer Vermont's allocation of the 2017 Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust. The RFA seeks proposals for electric replacement or repower projects across all eligible mitigation actions designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from mobile sources. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through December 31, 2026, with project work to be completed by June 30, 2028, with potential case-by-case time extensions. The objective is to catalyze market transformation toward all-electric heavy-duty vehicles and equipment while achieving significant diesel emissions reductions in the most cost-effective manner.

Up to $5,909,575 in trust funding is available for eligible electrification projects. The allocation represents Vermont's portion of the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust, which was delegated to ANR following the 2017 settlement. Eligible projects must demonstrate the feasibility of all-electric technologies and result in measurable NOx reductions from diesel-powered engines, vehicles, and equipment operating within the state.
