Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) seeks public, private, and nonprofit owners of heavy-duty diesel on-road trucks and transit buses in Minnesota to apply to this competitive grant opportunity to partially fund new, cleaner versions of these vehicles.
The grant aims to reduce diesel emissions and improve air quality and public health by removing older diesel vehicles and equipment from operation and replacing them with new, less-polluting models. New on-road vehicles funded by this grant can be diesel, diesel-electric hybrid, electric, natural gas, or propane. Projects funded will reduce diesel emissions in Minnesota, fund new vehicles and pieces of equipment around the state, and fund a mixture of clean, alternative fuel technologies.
Proposals are due no later than 4:30 p.m. Central Time on October 16, 2024.
Informational meeting
The MPCA will host an online informational webinar on August 13 (10:30 a.m.) to assist applicants applying to the RFP and provide an overview of the SWIFT system used for applications and the RFP itself.
