An Act establishing the Near Zero Emission Truck Incentive Program and the Near Zero Emission Truck Incentive Fund; and providing for the powers and duties of the Department of Transportation.

This bill creates a grant program in Pennsylvania to help owners of older diesel trucks buy newer, cleaner models that meet 2010 or later emission standards. To qualify for funding, applicants must trade in a pre-2010 diesel truck that is currently titled and insured in the state, and the Department of Transportation will distribute grants on a first-come, first-served basis. The financial assistance covers the federal excise tax on new trucks or provides a grant equal to 6% of the sale price for used trucks, with a minimum of $5,000. The program also establishes a dedicated state fund to finance these grants and requires the Department of Transportation to work with the Department of Environmental Protection to ensure traded-in older trucks are not re-registered in Pennsylvania.
