Extending Diesel Emissions Reduction Program Funding Until 2029.
This Act extends the federal Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) program for five years, moving its expiration date from 2024 to 2029. This ensures continued federal funding for replacing or upgrading older, high-polluting diesel engines in vehicles like trucks and buses. The continuation of this program directly supports cleaner air initiatives and public health improvements by reducing harmful particulate matter.
