To support a technology-neutral approach to planning and implementation of greenhouse gas pollution reduction strategies.
Applicant and/or Project Eligibility Requirements
Funding is available for states, territories, DC, tribes, and municipalities to develop and implement greenhouse gas emissions reduction plans.
Decarbonization Considerations
Consider tangible, community-supported plans and efforts that can substantially reduce emissions, such as public transit system enhancement or extension, or major retrofit and electrification of public schools, and public housing.
Equity Considerations
Consider prioritizing projects that are located in economically and environmentally distressed communities, and maximizing the long-term benefits for residents of the region. Local governments are encouraged to integrate community benefits into project scopes and milestones.
Helpful Tips
Municipal departments/agencies are encouraged to work together to develop comprehensive emission reduction plans. Consider leveraging private investment to expand efforts.
