Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The agreement provides funding to drive clean Colorado.
The award will reduce freight emissions by replacing six diesel class 6 box trucks with new battery electric vehicles and fifteen (15) on-road heavy duty diesel tractors with new zero-emission heavy duty battery electric tractors.
The purpose of both vehicle replacements is to improve air quality within environmental justice communities by reducing emissions of diesel particulate matter, exposure to diesel air toxics (NOX, PM2.5, HC, CO, CO2), and reducing noise pollution.
Activities: The activities include replacing six diesel class 6 box trucks with new battery electric vehicles and fifteen (15) on-road heavy duty diesel tractors with new zero-emission heavy-duty battery electric tractors.
This grant will also fund the installation of charging stations for both types of battery electric vehicles.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include reducing noise pollution, emissions of diesel particulate matter, and exposure to diesel air toxics (NOX, PM2.5, HC, CO, CO2).
The expected outcomes include (A) benefits to the communities affected by the project through community engagement and partnership, (B) improved ambient air quality, (C) health benefits achieved, (D) changes in driver behavior regarding idling practices, (E) increased understanding of the environmental or economic effectiveness of the implemented technology, (F) increased public awareness of the project and results, (G) widespread adoption of the implemented technology, (H) demonstration and deployment of zero-emission vehicles and engines, (I) emissions reductions along freight transportation corridors.
The intended beneficiaries include Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Gilpin, Jefferson, and Weld counties.
