Funding Available: Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grants

The U.S. EPA is accepting applications by July 25th to the 2024 Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program to fund the replacement of non-zero-emission heavy-duty trucks and buses with zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles. To advance environmental justice, this program is seeking to prioritize projects that take place in communities overburdened by air pollution. Additionally, the EPA will evaluate applications on their benefits towards disadvantaged communities experiencing poor air quality along with the quality and extent of community engagement efforts.

Eligible applicants to the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program include:

1. States, including U.S. territories;
2. Municipalities, including public school districts;
3. Indian Tribes; and
4. Nonprofit school transportation associations.

The EPA expects to offer up to $932 million in funding for high-quality applications that propose to serve communities across the country, particularly those overburdened by air pollution. At least $400 million will be used to fund projects in communities in air quality nonattainment areas.

Applications are due to Grants.gov by July 25th at 11:59PM ET. Potential applicants without a Federal Grants account are highly encouraged to initiate the Federal Grants registration process well ahead of the deadline for funding as the registration process can take over a month.
