ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES

Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) Grants

The Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) grant programs, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) help fleets adopt technologies to reduce the environmental impact of non-road and on-highway diesel vehicles. Fleets may apply for funding through the DERA program by submitting a fleet application to the American Lung Association. Funding through this program is not guaranteed and depends upon the availability of funding from the USEPA.

Fleet Assessment Opportunity

Over the past 20 years, the Minnesota Clean Cities Coalition and North Dakota Clean Cities have supported efforts to reduce the impact of fuel and vehicle emissions on our community’s air quality and health.

We help retailers, fleets, and community members utilize clean fuel options through customized education and outreach programs. These programs are developed in collaboration with public and private partners.

One of the services we offer is a complimentary fleet assessment. We can support your fleet by evaluating current practices and determining how alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies can be integrated into your operations. These assessments are funded by our participation in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities program and come at no cost to the fleet.

We provide neutral information to help you make informed decisions for your fleet. We are a resource to help you identify the best fuel choices for your fleet, potential savings, and environmental benefits.

We also provide recommendations on how to get started along with other factors to consider. Our team will collaborate with you to develop a plan and provide ongoing support throughout the implementation process to ensure a smooth integration and well-trained staff. After implementation, if desired, we can assist with publicly sharing your fleet’s success story and accomplishments through media channels and other venues.
