Although President Obama’s proposed FY2014 budget would slash by 70 percent programs funded under the Diesel Emis- sions Reduction Act, the U.S. EPA pub- lished its second report to Congress in April to detail the successes of the grant funding. “Te results outlined in this report
demonstrate that the clean diesel retrofit program (DERA) is one of the nation’s rarest and best examples of a program that actually works, delivering big and real benefits in fuel savings and cleaner air to all 50 states,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum. EPA said DERA has accounted for the
removal of more than 203,000 tons of NOx, 12,500 tons of particulate matter and 2.3 million tons of CO2. Additionally, EPA said DERA projects saved 63 million gallons of fuel from fiscal years 2008 to 2010. “DERA has proven consistently that
relatively small public investments can be leveraged with significant private-sector matching funds that together result in major cost-effective emissions reductions and fuel savings,” Schaeffer added. DERA was implemented in 2007 under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and the pre- vious Clean School Bus USA program was effectively rolled into it. Since then, EPA of- ficials have said that school buses have been the major benefactor of the program that funds diesel retrofits and engine repowers and replacements — capturing 38 percent of all project wins from 2008 through 2010.
