TERP Clean Air Grants Made Available through TCEQ
Clean air grants totaling $26 million are being made available to eligible individuals, businesses or local governments through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) program. The grants, aimed at reducing emissions from polluting vehicles and equipment, are available for projects in the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area, the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the Beaumont-Port Arthur area, the Tyler-Longview area, the Austin area and the San Antonio area.
The funding must be used to replace or repower heavy-duty on-road diesel vehicles and non-road diesel equipment. The eligible reimbursement amounts are predetermined based on default usage rates (miles or hours). A portion of the funding allocated to the Rebate Grant program will be set aside for entities that qualify as a small business. Applications will be received and reviewed on a first-come basis until March 31, or until all funding is distributed. For TERP program information, eligibility requirements and copies of the application forms, please visit www.terpgrants.org or call 800-919-TERP (800-919-8377)
