Volkswagen Enforcement Action Grants

From WA Department of Ecology

The Washington Department of Ecology uses funds from the Volkswagen settlement to reduce air pollution in communities affected by harmful diesel exhaust. Under the settlement, funding can be invested in projects that replace or repower eligible vehicles, vessels, and equipment with new less-polluting diesel engines; replacing with alternate fueled (compressed natural gas, propane, or hybrid) or all-electric engines; and developing charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
