ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE RECEIVES FEDERAL GRANT FOR PROJECT GREEN FLEET

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a Twin Cities organization more than half a million dollars to reduce harmful diesel emissions from trucks, utility equipment and a tugboat that operate around the metro region. “These projects will help people breathe cleaner air,” said EPA Region 5 Administrator Cathy Step. “Clean diesel grants also spur innovation and support jobs by helping to replace older, dirtier engines with newer, cleaner ones.”
