DTF Releases New Guide on Accessing CMAQ Funds for Diesel Retrofits
Many diesel vehicle and equipment owners know they can reduce emissions by retrofitting their fleet, but lack the resources to pay for such investments which do not improve fuel efficiency or provide economic benefits. Federal and state funds are available to help offset these costs, the largest source of which is the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program. Due to the CMAQ Program’s complexity, the Diesel Technology Forum has released a new guide to assist those wishing to learn more about this resource and the potential it offers for financing diesel retrofit projects.
