Abstract

Because of energy security issues, cost savings and environmental benefits, communities across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions have expressed significant interest in the deployment of new heavy-duty vehicles powered by natural gas. Emisstar LLC created this incentive program based on prior diesel emissions reduction program research and development work performed for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC). The authors recommend that emissions reductions achieved provide the basis for amount of funding received. Since the region struggles particularly with particulate matter (PM), the report recommends that grant funding is based on PM reduction cost effectiveness.
