Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The agreement provides funding under the Inflation Reduction Act to Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to replace in-use, non-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles with new zero-emission vehicles to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in EPA Region 5.
The recipient will replace 19 eligible vehicles with comparable, eligible zero-emission vehicles under the School Bus Sub-Program, resulting in cleaner air and improved health for communities in Osseo, Bloomington, and White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
Activities: The activities include replacing eligible internal combustion engine Class 6 and Class 7 vehicles with eligible zero-emission vehicles; purchasing, installing, operating, and maintaining charging equipment to maintain the new zero-emission vehicles; and providing workforce development and training to support the maintenance, charging, and operation of the new zero-emission vehicles.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include replacing 19 diesel school buses with 19 electric school buses in 3 school districts; installing 13 direct current fast charging units and 1 Level 2 charger; providing workforce development training to staff, bus drivers, mechanics, and other electric vehicle service providers; and community engagement activities.
The expected outcomes include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, increased jobs, improved workforce training programs for zero-emission vehicles and charging infrastructure, and increased public awareness and understanding about the environmental and economic effectiveness of electric school buses.
The intended beneficiaries include the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and residents of Osseo, Bloomington, and White Bear Lake communities in Minnesota.
