Please refer to Page 2 for a summary of important funding limits regarding these emission reduction solutions.Eligible diesel vehicles, engines and equipment may include buses, medium-duty or heavy-duty trucks, marine engines, locomotives and nonroad engines, equipment or vehicles used in construction, handling of cargo (including at a port or airport), agriculture, mining or energy production (including stationary generators and pumps).Eligible entities include Tribal agencies (or intertribal consortia) with jurisdiction over transportation or air quality.
