The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is now accepting applications for the Seaport & Rail Yard Areas Emissions Reduction Program (SPRY). An estimated $20M in grants is available to upgrade or replace older drayage trucks and equipment operating at eligible seaports and rail yards. SPRY is administered under the Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP), which provides grants to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from mobile sources and supporting programs that encourage the use of alternative fuels for transportation in Texas.
Applicants may be eligible for up to 80% of the cost to replace or repower eligible equipment, not to exceed a set amount. Equipment covered under the program must have been owned or leased by the applicant with continuous Texas registration and have been operated at an eligible seaport or rail yard for a minimum of 200 days per year, for at least two years immediately preceding the application signature date.
If your state is interested in more information on the Texas program, see full information on the SPRY webpage.
