Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) State Funds 

The State DERA funding is part of the National Clean Diesel Campaign.  Congress passed DERA and tasked EPA to oversee the implementation.  A portion of the funding goes directly to the States. Georgia has used this funding to reduced emissions in our school bus fleets.  The state offers grant funding to school systems to install emissions control devices or replace buses early.

Request for Applications (2023 State Clean Diesel Grant - School Bus DERA Program)
