The predetermined grant amounts are to reimburse between 60 percent to 90 percent of the incremental cost of the natural gas vehicles and engines and are based on the fuel capacity, usage, and weight class of the grant-funded vehicles.
Applicants must apply for Texas Natural Gas Vehicle Grant Program grants through a participating dealer. Requests will be accepted on first-come-first-served basis up to May 31, 2013, or until all funding is awarded.
Projects must result in at least a 25 percent reduction of emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), and grant recipients must commit to operate the grant-funded vehicles in the eligible Texas counties for at least 75 percent of the annual mileage for four years or 400,000 miles, whichever occurs earlier.
