Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OAR OTAQ 19 01
The Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program FY 2019 is a nationwide competitive funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically through the Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) within the Office of Air and Radiation. It is designed to support projects that deliver meaningful, measurable reductions in diesel emissions. The program places a strong emphasis on cutting pollution from diesel fleets that operate at, travel to, or otherwise service goods movement facilities, especially in locations that have been designated as having poor air quality. In practice, this focus points applicants toward diesel activity tied to freight corridors and freight-related hubs where truck, cargo-handling, and other diesel-powered operations can create concentrated emissions impacts.
A central theme of the opportunity is directing benefits to communities most affected by diesel pollution. EPA indicates that funding priority will be given to projects that clearly improve outcomes for affected communities, not just in terms of emission reductions but also in how the project is planned and carried out. Proposals that actively engage community members or representatives in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the project are positioned more favorably. In addition, EPA highlights the importance of sustainability and long-term impact, meaning that projects are encouraged to show how diesel reduction efforts will continue after the federal project period ends, whether through institutional commitments, continued operational practices, follow-on funding strategies, or other durable mechanisms.
This funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally means that selected recipients should anticipate substantial federal involvement in the project beyond a simple pass-through grant. The program is categorized under the environment funding activity area, and it is associated with CFDA number 66.039. The opportunity was posted under the title "Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program FY 2019" with the funding opportunity number EPA OAR OTAQ 19 01, and it was created on December 20, 2018.
In terms of scale, the maximum (ceiling) amount for an individual award is listed as $4,000,000, and EPA anticipated making around 80 awards under this announcement. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with applicants directed to the announcement text (notably the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section) for the specific eligible entity types and conditions. The original closing date for applications was March 6, 2019, with the notice advising applicants to review the full announcement and Section IV in particular for detailed submission instructions, required components, and any special application procedures.
Overall, the opportunity supports diesel emission reduction projects with a clear freight and goods movement emphasis, prioritizes measurable air quality and public health benefits in areas with poor air quality, and elevates proposals that demonstrate community engagement and a credible plan for maintaining emission reduction momentum after the grant-funded work concludes.Apply for EPA OAR OTAQ 19 01
