Overview of DERA Grants Awarded for Port Projects

Overview of DERA Grants Awarded for Port Projects: 2008-2021

Since 2008, a total of 207 Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grants have been awarded for port projects, totaling approximately $196 million. An additional 67 grants have been awarded through DERA to multi-sector projects that involve ports (note that only a portion of the more than $88 million of funds for these projects goes to the port sector). Port projects, as discussed here, refer to projects occurring in places alongside navigable water with facilities for the loading and unloading of passengers and/or cargo from ships, ferries, and other vessels. DERA grants have also been awarded for projects taking place at inland ports, railyards, and other goods movement facilities; for more information, go to the All DERA Grant Awards for 2008-2021 section below. 

The interactive application below shows an overview of DERA funding by year for port projects (multi-sector projects including the port sector are excluded from this depiction). This application displays DERA grants awarded through all programs including National, Tribal and Territory (formerly known as Insular Area), Ports, Emerging Technologies, and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) programs as well as allocations to states. Port projects have been eligible under all DERA grant programs since 2008, and a separate DERA Ports solicitation was offered in 2013 and 2014.

The table below provides details on DERA port grants awarded from 2008 to 2021. Note: Data in this interactive application are considered proposed until the grant is closed, and final data is submitted to EPA. Final award amounts and project descriptions may change as grants are implemented and completed. Multi-year awards are shown in this figure by the first fiscal year of the grant.  Open grants from the State program and all multi-sector grants that include the port sector are excluded from this figure because funding amounts by sector are not readily available for these grants. To find out more about awards listed below, contact the DERA Helpline (dera@epa.gov).
