A trustee has been appointed to administer the $3 billion Mitigation Trust Fund (MTF) established by a settlement with Volkswagen, which violated federal EPA air quality rules. States designate the agencies that will participate in the distribution of settlement funds. Each state's share is based on the number of VW vehicles sold in the states and estimates of the added pollution those vehicles caused. Local school districts as well as companies under contract to local school are eligible for up to 100% of the cost of a new vehicle or engine for qualifying vehicles.

Discover how you can take advantage of this funding opportunity at NAPT's 43rd Annual Conference & Trade Show this November 3-7 in Columbus, OH. We've confirmed two workshops dedicated to explaining how to best take advantage of various sources of funding to replace your aging fleet. Learn more about this year's conference program.
