EPA LAUNCHES $4M GRANT PROGRAM FOR CLEAN DIESEL PORT PROJECTS

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced a $4 million grant program for clean diesel projects aimed at reducing emissions from marine and inland water ports, many of which are in areas that face environmental justice challenges. "Ports are essential to the nation's economy and transportation infrastructure, but they also are home to some of the nation s toughest environmental challenges," said Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. "These grants will help port authorities to provide immediate emissions reductions that will benefit those who work and live in port-side communities."
