Strategies for Region 10 to achieve clean diesel objective | Tools & Programs | Strategic Targets |
| Promote use of ultra low sulfur diesel and biodiesel | Aggregate demand for the fuel through fuel purchase consortiums | Amount of fuel consumed |
| | * Promotion of fuel use among federal fleets in the region, including military | Amount of fuel consumed |
| | * Support state and local efforts to develop fuel market in rural areas by promoting fuel use by railroads and other significant users | Amount of fuel consumed, geographic scope of fuel distribution |
| Promote use of other alternative fuels, as appropriate | Partner with Clean Cities Coalitions | Amount of alternative fuel consumed and number of alternative fuel vehicles |
| Promotion of diesel retrofit technology | Promotion of retrofit of exhaust aftertreatment on diesel schoolbuses | Number of school buses retrofitted |
| | Promotion of retrofit of exhaust aftertreatment on diesel vehicles and stationary engines in federal fleets in the region, including military. Supplemental Environmental Projects could be used for this purpose. | Number of engines retrofitted |
| | * Develop protocols for clean diesel recognition program and support market ing efforts such as newsletters | Support for participants and enhancement of public awareness and support for overall project |
| Reduce diesel engine idling | Work with states to promote truck stop electrification along the I-5 corridor with an eye to extending efforts to I-90, I-84, I-82 and US97. | § Partnership with Region 9 and Environment Canada to extend efforts to these adjoining locales.
§ Number of sites and parking slips covered |
| | Promote and support efforts to install idle reduction devices on switch engine locomotives | Number of switch engines fitted |
| | Support efforts to reinforce anti idling policies at schools | Outreach programs developed and implemented |
| Extend clean diesel efforts to non-road diesels | Encourage EPA HQ to adopt the non-road engine rule and to regulate locomotives and marine engines | Further development of application of clean diesel technologies to non-road engines |
| | Assist state and local agencies in extending clean diesel efforts to non-road engines, including stationary engines, as opportunities arise | § Amount of ultra low sulfur and biodiesel fuel consumed
§ Number of engines retrofitted |
| | Incorporate strategy for reducing marine vessel emissions in port and near shore | Partnership with Region 9 Environment Canada, Washington, Oregon and California to support strategies developed through EPA/EC Characterization of Georgia Basin/Puget Sound Airshed Project and West Coast Global Warming Initiative |
| Secure funding for demonstration projects, especially those that extend range of applications and/or geographic scope | *Help S/L/T partners to find funding to encourage and support early adopters. Projects may include reducing fuel premiums, costs of exhaust controls and/or idle reduction infrastructure. | § Amount of fuel consumed
§ Number of retrofits
§ Idle reduction measures in place |
