Funding caps for public and non-profit fleets are $7,000 for light-duty vehicles, $25,000 for medium-duty vehicles, and $35,000 for heavy-duty vehicles. Caps for private fleets are $3,000 for light-duty vehicles, $15,000 for medium-duty vehicles, and $22,000 for heavy-duty vehicles.
Eligible fleets are public, non-profit, and private fleets that predominantly operate in Colorado’s federally designated carbon monoxide maintenance areas or ozone nonattainment areas. These areas include Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties, as well as parts of Larimer, Weld, El Paso and Teller counties, according to the RAQC.
Through the Federal Highway Administration’s Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program and the Colorado Department of Transportation, Alt Fuels Colorado will provide $30 million over a four-year period from 2014 to 2017 to accelerate Colorado’s adoption of alternative-fuel vehicles.
