The much anticipated reopening announcement for the ALT Fuels Colorado program is here. As we previously touched on, the penalty money from the VW Emissions Scandal is allocated to projects to reduce NOx from heavy duty diesel sources across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. However, in Colorado funds have been allocated differently, toward zero emission vehicles, specifically Electric School Buses. Our partnership with Blue Bird allows us to provide local school districts with the ONLY Certified Electric School Bus available in Colorado.
The application opens Monday, October 7, 2019 and closes Friday, November 8, 2019. Visit the ALT Fuels Colorado webpage for information on the following:
- The Different Incentive Levels
- Program Materials -there are many items that require reviewing prior to submitting an application, such as the Application guide, Pre-Application Checklist, List of FAQ’s, and Practice Application
- How to apply- all applications must be submitted electronically during the application round using the link on the ALT Fuels Colorado webpage
The link for applications will be available from October 7- November 8. These funds are available to all public, private and non-profit fleets statewide.
As a pioneer and leader in alternative fuel vehicles, Blue Bird was first to market Electric School Buses in 1994. We offer an Electric Bus for every application: Blue Bird Vision, All American RE, and Micro Bird G5 Electric.
