Indiana’s effort to modernize and clean up its transportation system takes a significant step forward. According to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), Monday marked the announcement of the final round of grant funding available through the Indiana Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust Program. With grants ranging from $50,000 to $1 million, the initiative focuses on promoting environmental sustainability in transportation.
Previously funded projects under this program have made substantial contributions to Indiana’s transportation sector. They have facilitated the acquisition of environmentally friendly school buses, transit buses, garbage trucks, and locomotives. These projects are part of Indiana’s broader strategy to reduce emissions and embrace cleaner, more sustainable transportation options.
Interested parties are encouraged to visit idem.IN.gov/vwtrust to access the application form and learn more about the program’s requirements and objectives. The deadline for grant applications is set for April 30, offering a limited window for applicants to secure funding for their environmentally conscious transportation projects. This move aligns with Indiana’s commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future, benefitting communities across the state.
