Division of Air Quality Projects

Retrofit approximately 200 school buses statewide with Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and closed Crankcase Ventilation Systems.

Partner with USOE and local school districts in non-attainment areas to purchase approximately 24 school buses. UDAQ will reimburse school districts $44,000 per school bus. The following school districts will use ARRA funding to purchase new school buses: Cache, Logan, Box Elder, Weber, Ogden (First Student), Davis, Salt Lake City, Granite, Jordan, Canyons, Alpine, Nebo, Provo City, and Murray.

Agriculture Emissions

Funding will be used to replace 11 agricultural vehicles and equipment, repower 21 engines in agricultural vehicles and equipment, and install 30 APUs on agricultural vehicles. Installing more fuel efficient technology on agricultural vehicles and equipment will insure that stricter emissions standards requirements are met and yield more diesel fuel conservation.
