Eligible projects include construction and installation of Electrified Parking Spaces for heavy-duty truck TRUs and trailer TRUs, electric power monitoring equipment and electric power connection kits. The funding can be applied toward up to 30% of eligible costs.

The North Texas Emissions Reduction Project 2020 (NTERP) CFP is open to private-sector fleets for high-use diesel vehicles and equipment operating in the ozone nonattainment area, as well as Hood and Navarro counties.
