Climate Pollution Reduction Grants

The document outlines a five-category framework for jurisdictions applying for Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) to reduce emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs). It suggests a combination of critical analysis, regulatory programs, financial incentives, community benefits, and the leveraging of other federal funding sources. Specific recommendations include adopting the Advanced Clean Trucks and Advanced Clean Fleets rules, developing Low Carbon Fuel Standards, and establishing workforce training programs with community colleges.

• Recommended critical analysis measures for the MHDV sector include mapping transportation corridors to identify charging and fuel depot needs, conducting grid congestion studies, and performing air quality analysis to identify public health impacts in susceptible communities.
• Suggested regulatory actions include adopting the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule to increase zero-emission vehicle sales, the Advanced Clean Fleets rule for fleet transitions, and Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs to target carbon intensity.
• Financial incentive strategies include using CPRG funds for vehicle purchase incentives, charging and fueling station grants or loans, and partnering with green banks to underwrite loans for fleet conversion.
• To maximize community benefits, the document suggests funding the transition of public fleets—such as school buses and garbage trucks—and expanding workforce training through community colleges and union apprenticeships.
