DEP awarded grants to eight recipients in Allegheny, Beaver, Berks, Butler, Luzerne, Schuylkill and York counties.
The selected projects will result in the deployment of 25 alternative fuel vehicles, including four new fueling stations. Five projects are also located in or serve Environmental Justice (EJ) areas.
“With fuel prices well over $4 for gasoline and nearly $6 for diesel, Pennsylvania businesses and local governments need every option available to save on gas. These grants will help reduce costs for these companies with alternative fuel solutions that will help save them money and also reduce air pollution,” said DEP Secretary Jessica Shirley. “AFIG projects like these lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality for many Pennsylvania communities with the use of electric school buses, renewable natural gas (RNG) trucks, electric charging stations, and other clean transportation alternatives.”
