The application period for GMERP Year 2 Heavy-Duty Diesel Truck projects ended on April 29, 2011. Additional information regarding the recent solicitation is available below.

Appearance of a truck on the rank list is NOT a guarantee of funding. Currently, funding is available for approximately 150 truck projects. Funding will be assigned to trucks based on rank order. Grant awards will only be made to eligible trucks meeting all Program requirements. Inspections and contracting will continue until all funds are exhausted. Ranked trucks not assigned funding will be put onto a back-up list. If additional funds become available, these will be assigned to back-up projects following the rank order of the list.
