As unconventional gas development continues across Pennsylvania, Act 13, through the impact fee, creates a new three-year Natural Gas Energy Development Program to be administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Over the next three years, this new program will make $20 million in grant funds available on a competitive basis to purchase or convert eligible vehicles to natural gas.

Awarded funds will cover up to 50% (or up to $25,000) of the incremental cost of buying or converting vehicles to run on natural gas. Eligible applicants include Commonwealth or municipal authorities, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, nonprofit entities, for-profit companies, local transportation organizations and state-owned or state-related universities with more than five trucks over 7 tons.

Join us on December 7th for more information!
