DEP Now Accepting Nitrogen Tire Inflation System Grant Applications
|
|
The Department of Environmental Protection is now accepting applications for its Nitrogen Tire Inflation System Grants. The application period will be open through June 20, 2011. (formal notice)
Eligible applicants include automotive service providers who sell tires in this Commonwealth. Eligible applicants with a 50 percent match of the total system cost may request up to $5,000 reimbursement for systems purchased and installed after July 1, 2010.
Funds awarded under the Grant Program can be used to reimburse a portion of the cost to purchase systems that deliver at least 95 percent nitrogen purity according to manufacturer specifications.
The primary goals of this direct reimbursement Grant Program are to help improve vehicle fuel economy while reducing the consumption of imported oil, and to potentially extend vehicle tire life over time. Deployment of fuel saving technologies also provides for opportunities to better manage our fuel and natural resources in a way that also improves our environment and enhances our quality of life.
DEP said information on this grant program will be posted on its Alternative Fuels webpage.
