More information about the program
The Diesel Emissions Mitigation Grants Program was established by the Oregon Legislature in 2019. It prioritizes projects aimed at complying with vehicle phase-out deadlines in Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas Counties.
The Clean Truck Rules requires more zero emission vehicles to be available in Oregon, providing more vehicle options for you to upgrade your fleet. The grant program provides financial assistance in making this transition.
Grants from this program can help you participate in the Diesel Retrofit Compliance Program by funding needed diesel improvements.
Grant recipients can also pursue certification under DEQ’s new Diesel Emissions Identification Program. Certification can improve your emissions profile and can be a marketing tool for your business.
You can be reimbursed for eligible project costs that come up when changing over to newer, cleaner technologies and retrofits, while making a positive impact on Oregon's environment.
Plus, DEQ now awards additional federal funds through the annual diesel grant process, making it even easier to access the resources you need for better diesel results. Learn more about related funding on DEQ’s Federal Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Grants web page.
