This project advances the environmental improvement goals for our fleet of vessels, an effort which began almost ten years ago by deploying new, efficient, low emission engines to improve air quality locally and throughout the region," said John P. Wronowski, owner and president of Cross Sound Ferry Services, Inc. The awards will cover 25% of project costs for vehicle replace- ments and 40% for ferry engine repowers. Grant recipients will cover the remainder of the costs needed to complete these projects. These New England projects are part of nearly $28 mil- lion in grant funds awarded by EPA nationwide for clean diesel projects in 2016. In addition to the competitive grants program, in 2016, EPA also awarded through DERA a total of approximately $1.4 million to the six New England states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont to support their state efforts to reduce diesel pollution.
