Eligible Applicants
The CHDV Program prioritizes projects operating in designated ozone nonattainment or maintenance areas across the state that struggle to meet federal air quality standards, as well as in counties with a high asthma burden. Additional priority will be given to refuse truck replacements operating in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties, within the Detroit Metropolitan Area, where long-standing environmental and public health challenges are most acute.
Eligible Projects
All funded projects must replace existing diesel vehicles with zero-emission alternatives and demonstrate long-term operational use at open and actively operating facilities.
Grant recipients must provide a minimum 50% cost match of total project costs for new battery-electric refuse vehicles.
