The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant program offers funding assistance to upgrade, retrofit, and turn over the older diesel vehicles in your fleet. DERA is anticipated to reopen in 2026. Join Wisconsin Clean Cities (WCC) and Tony Maietta of the US EPA for this DERA 101 webinar, designed to help you get ready and increase your chance of success. We will help you determine what vehicles in your fleet are likely to qualify for funding and the steps you should take next.Schools, tribes, nonprofits, municipalities, and transit companies may apply. For-profit businesses can receive funding if they partner with an eligible primary application. WCC can help you locate primary partners!
