I-5 Truck Idle Reduction Rebate Project
Location: I-5 corridor
throughout Washington, Oregon, and California
EPA is providing a $100,000 grant to the Oregon
Department of Energy, with $40,000 in matching funds. This
project will install idle reduction technology on 60-100 trucks
in Oregon that travel along the I-5 Corridor to reduce harmful
diesel emissions and reduce fuel consumption. The project will
complement other projects, such as Oregon Diesel Solutions,
to develop the necessary infrastructure at rest stops, terminals
and transfer stations, to significantly reduce unnecessary
idling along the West Coast. This project will reduce an estimated
80 tons of nitrogen oxide, 2.4 tons of particulate matter and
5,640 tons of carbon dioxide over a five-year period.
