Many sources – including the federal government, some states and a few local governments – offer incentive funding for retrofit projects.  This section provides information on some of the most significant.

Federal Government
Despite the recognized cost-effectiveness of diesel retrofit as an air-quality improvement measure, growing and competing priorities have limited the amount of funds available for voluntary retrofit projects.  Some key programs include:

• Diesel Emissions Reduction Program
• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (information coming soon)
• Environmental Quality Incentives Program
• Supplemental Environmental Projects

State Governments
Since the late 1990s, individual states started taking additional responsibility for improving their air quality problems through the creation of state-funded emissions reduction programs.  Although California and Texas have some of the oldest, largest and most established programs, other states – including North Carolina, New Jersey and Ohio – have undertaken efforts to designate state funds to support emissions reductions through diesel retrofit.

• California’s Carl Moyer Program
• Texas Emission Reduction Program (TERP)
• North Carolina Mobile Source Emissions Reduction Grant Program
• New Jersey Diesel Risk Reduction Program
• Ohio
• State Infrastructure Banks

Other Retrofit Resources and Promotion Efforts

Diesel retrofit projects are also being financed through a variety of other innovative sources including:

• Regional Diesel Collaborative Programs (information coming soon)
• Contracting Requirements
• Tax Incentives
• Grant Opportunities
