CLEAN VEHICLES LOCAL PROJECT ADVANCE FUNDING AGREEMENT AUTHORIZATION | | | |
| | | | | | | | | Background | | The Clean Vehicles Program is designed to offset the cost of replacing or retrofitting older, high-emission diesel and gasoline engines with cleaner, low-emission engines and support the deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies. The primary goal of the programs is to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx), a critical component in the formation of ground-level ozone.
Award amounts are based upon the projected emissions that are expected to be reduced by the project, factoring in usage patterns, engine specifications, and the fuel/technology types. The program has funded over 3,200 replacements/retrofits and reduced approximately 3,700 tons of NOx since its inception in 2003. |
