Abstract

EPA received $4 billion for two new programs to reduce emissions from the transportations sector. The first program is the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle program that will invest $1 billion to help cover the costs of replacing dirty heavy-duty vehicles with clean alternatives, deploy supporting infrastructure, and/or train and develop the necessary workforce. At least $400 million must go to nonattainment areas. The application is open to states, municipalities, Indian tribes, nonprofit school transportation associations, and eligible contractors. The second program will provide $3 billion in grants to reduce air pollution at ports with at least $750 million going to nonattainment areas. These funds can be used for a range of activities including the purchase and installation of zero-emission port equipment and technology, support with associated costs for planning and permitting, and developing qualified climate action plans – a detailed and strategic plan that establishes goals, implementation strategies, and accounting and inventory practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants at one or more ports. Eligible entities include: port authorities; any state, regional, local, or tribal agency with jurisdiction over a port authority; air pollution control agencies; and non-profits and private entities partnering with the above and own, operate, or use port facilities. Both of these are new programs that will be informed by comments received via this request for public comment in addition to other stakeholder engagement activities that the Agency will be conducting consistent with its Grant Competition policy.
