ACT News/FleetOwner: FUNDING: Get Ready to Drink from the VW Firehose

Jun 11, 2018

Over two years of legal wrangling, negotiations, and stakeholder outreach and it all comes down to this – the final VW settlement plans are being finalized and funds are finally hitting the streets. The $2.925 billion, with each state receiving a share of the pot, provides an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate deployments of advanced clean transportation technologies and reduce harmful emissions.

At the time of publication, eleven states have published their final VW settlement plans and another twenty have draft plans in the hopper. But more importantly, some of the states have already begun implementing their plans and allocating funds.

School buses are an early favorite
As each state has the ability to craft its own priorities, individual funding plans are no less diverse than the states themselves. However, school buses have emerged as a priority for the earliest states to allocate their funds.

Oregon will allocate funds to a variety of local school districts based on the age of the buses within those districts. In line with the VW settlement’s efforts to achieve transparency, the state has published the list of districts selected. The selected districts may choose to take one of two actions on their eligible buses

  • Receive up to 100 percent of costs to purchase and install exhaust controls (i.e, DPFs) or
  • Receive up to $50,000 to purchase a new diesel or alternative fuel school bus

Minnesota’s first phase of VW dollars will include a $2.35 million carve out for school bus projects. Public and private operators are eligible to apply for funding and there are no limits on the types of fuel used. The school bus program is expected to open any day and will cover up to $15,000 per vehicle. For buses serving school districts where 40% of students are eligible for free or reduced-cost lunch, the incentive rises to $20,000 per bus.

California recently approved $130 million in funding specifically for buses, school, transit, and shuttle buses. A maximum of $400,000 will be allocated per zero-emission school bus, covering nearly the entire cost, and $180,000 for buyers of zero-emission school buses, covering approximately 25% of the cost.

Congrats to our own Jim Bunsey for being named one of Butane-Propane News’ Industry Innovators!“I want to ensure that propane is here to stay and help in the future."

James "Jim" Bunsey — one of the finalists for this year's BPN Industry Innovators — is director of operations at Superior Energy Systems, Ltd. (SES). Bunsey spearheaded the strategy and development of the first technologically advanced propane autogas refueling dispenser in North America, leading to the installation and operation of more than 1,400 systems nationwide. To go along with those dispensers, Bunsey and his team at SES designed a cloud-based fuel management software that works off cell service and allows customers to log in and curate new users, vehicles and accounts, and restrict access.

Read more about Bunsey and how his innovations are fueling progress in the autogas market here:
