An informational webinar on the FY19 Volkswagen Alternative Fuel School Bus and Clean Diesel (DERA) grant programs was held on November 7. Webinar Recording presentation slides: DERA, Alternative Fuel School Bus (DEQ), Alternative Fuels (INCOG and ACOG)

The Clean Diesel program has allowed many entities across the state to replace their old diesel vehicles, thus improving the air quality for the children, environment, and citizens of Oklahoma. More than 43 schools districts have been able to replace and/or retrofit more than 287 diesel school buses. This EPA-sponsored program is funded under the federal Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA); Volkswagen Settlement funds are used to match federal funds.

DEQ is now accepting applications for projects that reduce emissions from diesel vehicles. Approximately $704,000 of grant money is available for this fiscal year.
