Topic One: Climate Pollution Reduction Grants
EPA received $5 billion to assist states, air pollution control
agencies, tribes and local governments to develop and implement strong,
climate pollution reduction strategies. These eligible entities can
apply for planning grants and then apply for grants to implement those
plans. This is a new program that will be informed by comments received
via this request for public comment in addition to other stakeholder
engagement activities that the Agency will be conducting consistent
with its Grant Competition policy.
Topic Two: Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles
EPA received $4 billion for two new programs to reduce emissions
from the transportation sector. The first program is the Clean Heavy-
Duty Vehicle program that will invest $1 billion to help cover the
costs of replacing dirty heavy-duty vehicles with clean alternatives,
deploy supporting infrastructure, and/or train and develop the
necessary workforce. At least $400 million must go to nonattainment
areas. The application is open to states, municipalities, Indian
tribes, nonprofit school transportation associations, and eligible
contractors.
