Michigan Clean Diesel Program

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is offering grants for projects that will reduce diesel emissions by replacing old vehicles, engines, and equipment with all-electric vehicles and equipment, focusing on local government fleets, recycling vehicles, compost and food waste recovery vehicles, agriculture, and irrigation equipment. Both public and private entities will be eligible to apply for funds to support eligible projects.

Eligible projects must involve/address reduction of diesel emissions and diesel emissions exposure in Michigan. Impacted facilities must be occupied and have long range plans of continued use. Funds cannot be used for the purchase of vehicles, engines, or equipment to expand a fleet or agricultural operation. The grantee and partners must agree to operate vehicles, engines, and equipment purchased with grant funds in Michigan for at least five years immediately after the grant closes.

Applications will be accepted and processed on a first come, first served basis until all funding has been exhausted. Applicants must submit a complete response to the RFP, addressing the Program Objectives, Program Priorities, and Applicant Tasks, and using the provided format and attachments including the Approved Budget Form, Eligibility Statement, and Fleet Description Spreadsheet.
