However, based on the related state and local contract opportunity, this Request for Applications is issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), acting under delegated authority from the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), to fund electric replacement and repower projects under Vermont's allocation of the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust. The RFA seeks proposals for electric vehicle and equipment replacement or repower projects that reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from mobile sources operating in Vermont. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with a deadline of December 31, 2026, and project work must be completed by June 30, 2028, with time extensions available on a case-by-case basis. The RFA was posted on June 25, 2026.

Up to $5,909,575 is available for all awarded projects, representing the remainder of Vermont's EMT allocation. DEC prioritizes proposals demonstrating cost-effective NOx reductions and the feasibility of all-electric heavy-duty vehicle and equipment technologies to catalyze market transformation in the state. All funded projects must comply with legal obligations under the Trust agreement and achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions from diesel-powered engines, vehicles, and equipment. Eligible applicants may propose projects for any qualifying mobile-source mitigation action under the Volkswagen EMT framework. Required application attachments include the Application Form, Fleet Description Worksheet, DCFC Justification, and Commitment and Support for Electrification documents.
