Clean Fleet Transportation Network Companies Grant Program

Clean Fleet Transportation Network Companies Grant Program is sponsored by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. This opportunity supports mission-aligned projects and measurable outcomes.

#### What is the Clean Fleet Enterprise? The Clean Fleet Enterprise, established under Senate Bill 21-260 and administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, aims to promote the adoption of cleaner technologies, particularly electric vehicles, hydrogen, or low-emission alternatives, for vehicle fleets operated by businesses, government entities, nonprofits, and transportation network companies.

To fund its initiatives, the enterprise can impose a clean fleet retail delivery fee and a per-ride fee for rides provided by transportation network companies, like Uber and Lyft. The fees are also used to provide financial support through grants, rebates, loans for purchasing or converting to clean vehicles, and for developing necessary infrastructure and technologies.

#### Why is the enterprise important, and how does it impact public health? Transportation is one of the major sources of air pollution in Colorado. Emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles release harmful substances like nitrogen oxides and fine particulate matter, which contribute to smog and air pollution, posing health risks.

Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles – although they make up a small percentage of overall vehicles — produce a large share of these emissions. No matter how much equipment is used to control air pollution emissions, gas-powered vehicles still emit carbon dioxide. In contrast, electric vehicles emit no carbon dioxide.

Communities that are disproportionately impacted by pollution and climate change, often near busy roads and freight corridors, face greater air pollution challenges. The enterprise promotes the transition of large vehicle fleets to cleaner technologies to help address greenhouse gas emissions and local air quality issues.

So, instead of inhaling toxins from dirty diesel trucks that pass through your neighborhood, you will see a clean electric vehicle alternative that keeps you from breathing in those harmful pollutants. This program creates a safer and healthier alternative to gas and diesel that directly impacts the environment in Colorado communities. #### What has Colorado achieved through this initiative?

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far to build healthier communities. * We’ve achieved a significant funding milestone, awarding nearly $50 million to support the transition to electric vehicles in Colorado and successfully approved hundreds of vehicles for funding, with many already delivered.

* This process has involved a diverse range of awardees, including government entities and businesses, and focused on funding class 6-8 vehicles to reduce emissions. * We’ve also developed strong partnerships with Uber and Lyft to enhance clean transportation. * We worked with a third-party contractor to provide remote sensing services to identify high-emitting medium and heavy-duty vehicles.

* We've also focused on identifying high-emitting, older vehicles for replacement, particularly in disproportionately impacted communities and areas with air quality issues. This program not only creates a safer and healthier environment but also aligns with Colorado’s goals outlined in the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap to combat climate change.

It collects fees for a primary purpose of financing or defraying the cost of services provided to those who must pay them.

Expenditures of Enterprise revenue may provide benefits to the public or third parties. The Clean Fleet Enterprise is charged with improving air quality in Colorado through reducing emissions by supporting the transition of motor vehicle fleets to cleaner technologies.

The CFE will collect a fee for all retail/food deliveries (e.g., Amazon, Grubhub, etc.) and all rides provided by transportation network companies (“TNCs” like Uber and Lyft). The CFE will incentivize, support, and accelerate the adoption of electric motor vehicles, as well as select applications for compressed natural gas vehicles that are fueled by recovered methane, in motor vehicle fleets.

If you would like more information or are interested in serving on the Commission for the State of Colorado, please submit an application and resumé to the Governor's Office of Boards and Commissions.

### Clean Fleet Planning, Research and Evaluation (Technical Assistance) To support and engage fleets to develop strategies and plans for electrifying motor vehicle fleets, research new technology and periodically evaluate existing CFE Portfolios to identify opportunities to improve and optimize efficiency and effectiveness.

The intent of this program is to support planning activities by providing access to technical assistance via a third-party consultant to support the development of clean fleet transition plans and to evaluate CFE offerings.

### Clean Fleet Transportation Network Companies To complement existing TNC fleet sustainability goals and programs to incentivize, support, and accelerate the adoption of clean TNC fleet vehicles and increase the percentage of prearranged rides completed in ZEVs. An initial TNC Ride Incentive Program providing a per-ride incentive for TNC rides provided in ZEVs to help offset the higher incremental costs of renting or owning a ZEV.

Staff will investigate options to provide purchase and/or lease rebates to reduce the incremental cost of owning or leasing ZEVs. ### Clean Fleet Vehicle and Technology The Clean Fleet Vehicle & Technology program acts to incentivize, support, and accelerate the adoption of clean fleet vehicles and technology. It will initially operate as a grant program.

Potential project types include clean vehicle purchases/leases, clean vehicle pilot projects for fleets to experiment with zero emission vehicle technologies, and projects to install idle reduction technologies on fleet vehicles that do not have a viable clean technology vehicle option.

### Clean Fleet Vehicle Workforce Development To provide training and development of a clean transportation workforce to support the adoption of clean fleet vehicles for use in motor vehicle fleets.

The Workforce Development Portfolio could include a range of programs including, but not limited to, driver/operator training and technician training to ensure that the necessary supply of clean fleet workers can meet demand as the market grows. There is a need to strike a balance between workforce development and having enough ZEVs on the road in Colorado to allow broader workforce development activities to be most impactful.

### Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicle Replacement To incentivize, support, and accelerate the replacement of a truck that is part of a fleet and that is powered by a diesel-fueled internal combustion engine, is a model year of 2009 or earlier, and is registered, operable, and capable of independent roadway operation (aging diesel truck) with a diesel truck that is a model year of 2018 or later (new diesel truck) until December 31, 2031. 1.

To qualify for any money provided by the enterprise for the replacement of aging diesel trucks with new diesel trucks, the act requires a purchaser of the new diesel truck to surrender an aging diesel truck to the seller 2. The seller of the new diesel truck must decommission the aging diesel truck by drilling a hole in the engine's block and cutting the chassis rails in half. 3.

The seller must be an authorized dealer of new diesel trucks who must certify that the new diesel truck meets all state and federal emissions and safety standards for ### Remote Sensing Prioritization To reduce vehicle emissions by: 1. Utilizing On-Road Remote Sensing technology to identify the oldest, highest emitting vehicles for replacement with an eligible vehicle in the Clean Fleet Vehicle & Technology Portfolio. 2.

Focusing on DICs and other communities with known vehicle-related air quality issues. The Remote Sensing Prioritization Portfolio will identify high-emitting fleet vehicles and refer them to the Clean Fleet Vehicle & Technology Project Portfolio.

The Portfolio will also be used to inform an overall understanding of the types of vehicles that are the highest emitters and as a tool to initiate conversations with fleets to understand barriers to fleet replacement.
