The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is pleased to announce the availability of funding from the Volkswagen Settlement Trust On-Road Program.  Approximately $6,500,000 is available for a reimbursement program to replace or repower eligible on-road vehicles, and some vehicles are eligible for up to 100% funding.  The goal of this program is to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by replacing or repowering older vehicles with newer diesel or alternative fueled vehicles. This is a competitive funding opportunity available to government and non-government applicants seeking to improve their heavy truck, medium truck, or bus fleets.  A cost-share may be required for funding under this program.  School buses are not eligible for this funding.

Applications will be accepted through September 30, 2024.  For an application or more information please visit https://www.deq.ok.gov/air-quality-division/volkswagen-settlement/on-road-program/ or email questions to: VWSettlement@deq.ok.gov
