Public Fleets Sector Workgroup
Summary
The public fleets sector is diverse, and our grant projects reflect that diversity. From replacing polluting fire trucks and ground support equipment at airports, to projects on tribal lands, the public fleets sector addresses important diesel pollution in the places we live.
Public fleets serve a vital role; keeping our streets clean and functional, keeping us safe, and getting us where we need to go. Public fleets are any state, territorial, tribal, or local government owned or contracted fleet that operated heavy-duty diesel equipment. This equipment includes Class 5 or higher diesel on-highway vehicles (>16,001 lbs GVWR), such as utility trucks, refuse trucks, fire trucks, ambulances, buses, as well as heavy-duty diesel non-road equipment, such as loaders, dozers, tractors, generators and more.
This page includes information on funding assistance for a variety of heavy-duty public fleet emission reduction projects, including:
- On-highway vehicle and nonroad equipment replacement, such as cleaner model year engines, zero-emission battery-electric or fuel cell replacements and
- Lower emission alternative fuel replacements such as natural gas, and exhaust retrofits.
West Coast Collaborative (WCC) also funds a variety of Public Fleet Projects and administers EPA funding programs such as the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) and the Bipartisan infrastructure Law's (BIL) Clean School Bus programs.
