Benefits of Partnership • Knowledge building/technology sharing • Funding opportunities • Quantifiable emission reductions • Potential financial savings • Positive environmental image • Cleaner Air
Funding Resources Multi-pronged approach to funding: • Federal • Private • Innovative opportunities
National Clean Diesel Program Total $49. 2 Million for 2008 National State $34. 4 Million (70%) $14. 8 Million (30%) National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Prog. $27. 6 M State Clean Diesel Grant Prog. - $14. 8 M Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Prog. - $3. 4 M National Clean Diesel Finance Prog. - $3. 4 M State Base Matching Bonus
Blue Skyways Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program • Eligible Entities • State and Local Governments • Non-Profit Organizations • Implementation Projects • EPA/CARB certified and/or verified retrofit equip. • Engine replacement, re-power, rebuild • Idle reduction technologies • Clean fuels • Finance program
Blue Skyways Accomplishments • Collectively targeted $510 million dollars for emissions reduction projects • 154 Partners • 756 Projects • 12, 214 Diesel Engine Retrofits
Benefits of Partnership • Knowledge building/technology sharing • Funding opportunities • Quantifiable emission reductions • Potential financial savings • Positive environmental image • Cleaner Air
Blue Skyways Accomplishments $510 million leveraged equates: • 44, 308 tons of air emission reductions (HC, NOx, PM) • 1. 3 million tons of Greenhouse Gas (CO 2) emission reductions • Approx. 36 million gallons in fuel savings
Project Example Mc. Aninch Corporation • Replaced ~50 Tier 0 Engines • Use ULSD w/ 7% Biodiesel • No Idle Policy • More…
Mc. Aninch Accomplishments Only four projects equates to: • 340 tons of air emission reductions • 200 tons of CO 2 emission reductions • 330 thousand gallons in fuel savings
Benefits of Partnership • Knowledge building/technology sharing • Funding opportunities • Quantifiable emission reductions • Potential financial savings • Positive environmental image • Cleaner Air
Pro Environmental Image • Media events for projects and partners • Blue Skyways website • Project savings and emission reduction tracking tools • Participant and partner collaboration
Benefits of Partnership • Knowledge building/technology sharing • Funding opportunities • Pro environmental image •
Diesel Exhaust and Health Exposure to diesel exhaust can: • Cause lung damage • Trigger respiratory problems • Exacerbate asthma and existing allergies • Be linked to premature mortality • Be linked to other acute and chronic health effects
Diesel Exhaust and the Environment Contributes to: • Ozone formation (smog) • Acid Rain • Haze
Diesel Exhaust Emissions • Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) • Particulate Matter ≤ 2. 5 micrometers (PM 2. 5) • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) • Toxics

Our Impact on Health and Environment Estimated Average Daily Truck Traffic 1998 2020
On-Road • Public Fleets • Over-the-Road Trucks • School Buses
Non-Road • Construction Equipment • Farm Equipment • Generators & Pumps
Air - Water - Rail Ports • Port Equipment • Marine Vessels • Locomotives
Fuels • Biofuels • Alternative Fuels • Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel • Fueling Stations
Energy • Energy Efficiency • Geothermal • Landfill & Ag Methane • Green Building • Wind • Solar
I’m Interested, But…
Idle Reduction Increase idle reduction policies
Retrofit, Rebuild, Replace and Repower Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Fuels Natural Gas
Fuel Efficiency • Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) • Bunk Heater • Auto Tire Inflation • Single-Wide Tires • Radial vs. Fabric Tires • Preventative Maintenance • Global Positioning System (GPS) • Aerodynamics
Fuel Efficiency - Example • Aluminum Wheel Sets & Single-Wide Tires • $3000 • Auto Tire Inflation • $900 EPA Smartway Calculator Estimate: • One side dump tractor/trailer unit • 15, 000 gallons fuel/year • $4. 00/gallon • PAYBACK – less than 2 years
Renewable Energy & Efficiency Energy • Utilize GIS-based renewable energy resources maps • Try building “green” using LEED certification • Consider waste-to-energy sources And many more!
