About this opportunity

DERA grants replace or retrofit older diesel engines in public fleets, reducing harmful emissions to protect human health and improve air quality. Common Projects: Vehicle replacements: school buses, transit buses, and heavy/medium duty trucks Engine replacements: marine and non-road engines (i.e., construction, agricultural, other non-highway vehicles) Verified exhaust retrofits: diesel particulate filters Verified idle reduction technology: fuel-operated heaters Owners of aging diesel equipment operating in Ohio’s priority counties, identified by the U.S. EPA, are encouraged to apply for grants to fund diesel emission reduction projects. Website: Division of Environmental & Financial Assistance Governing Statute: Ohio Revised Code 122.861 and 512.90 Eligibility: Currently limited to public transit systems for replacement of diesel buses that are eligible under the Federal Highway Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program and located in an eligible Ohio county. Specifications: $8-10 million awarded annually for engine repowers and vehicle replacements in SFY 2017-2023 Application Deadline: Varies. One round annually, usually in the fall.
