Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative Announces Grant Funding

The Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative, a public-private partnership

created to reduce diesel emissions in the Midwest, announces the

availability of grant funds to address this significant public health

challenge. The funds are being offered through two separate Requests

for Proposals: one for school bus projects with total available funding

of $464,320, and one for diesel reduction projects in areas other than

school buses with total available funding of $575,000. State, county,

federally recognized tribal, city or township governments, nonprofits

with a 501(c)(3) status and other similar organizations are eligible.

This is the first year the Initiative expects to award grants under

either of these two programs. Proposals are due on June 16, 2006.
