The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") is accepting applications for the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan ("TERP") Rebate Grants Program, for which $5,000,000 is currently available.
Grants under this program are available for replacing or upgrading older diesel vehicles or equipment. To qualify, on-road vehicles must have a gross vehicle weight of more than 8,500 pounds, and non-road equipment must have at least a 25 horsepower engine. The grant-funded vehicles and equipment must be operated at least 75% of their annual usage in eligible geographical areas and/or designated roads. The Rebate Grants Program is non-competitive, and funding will be issued to eligible applicants in the order that applications are received. Additional information about the Rebate Grants Program is available at TCEQ's website.
