Oklahoma Clean Diesel (DERA) Program for School Bus Replacements
Applications Currently Open!
Applications Currently Open!
Application Period Currently Open! Eligible projects will be awarded until funds are depleted. Find the active grant solicitation with all program details here.
Administered by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), this program is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the federal Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA). This program funds replacements of old diesel-powered school buses with newer buses powered by diesel, gasoline, electricity, propane, or natural gas.
Eligible applicants are Oklahoma school districts that transport K-12 students.
Eligible buses to be replaced must meet specific requirements outlined by ODEQ in each funding solicitation. Historically, ODEQ has required eligible buses to be replaced to:
- be fueled by diesel
- be operational
- be owned by the district for at least two years
- have at least three years of remaining useful life
- have accumulated at least 7,000 miles per year during the prior two years
- be school bus Type A, B, C, or D
Eligible replacement buses must also meet specific requirements outlined by ODEQ in each funding solicitation. Historically, ODEQ has required eligible replacement buses to:
- be powered by diesel, gasoline, electricity, propane, or natural gas
- be a new bus
- be the same Type (A, B, C, or D) as the bus to be replaced
- be the same class of weight rating or horsepower as the bus to be replaced
- meet EPA’s heavy-duty highway engine emission standards
- resemble and perform similar function and operation as the bus to be replaced
Funding amounts are specific to each funding round and are provided by ODEQ in each grant solicitation. Generally, lower emission vehicles are associated with higher funding awards, aligning with the goal of the program to reduce emissions in the state. Historically, the highest funding awards have gone to zero-emission buses, providing 45% of the cost of the vehicle and charging unit.
This is a reimbursement program.

Oklahoma National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is administering the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (NEVI) for Oklahoma, under which the state was allocated $66 million federal dollars to deploy EV charging infrastructure in priority areas throughout the state, focusing on highway corridors. NEVI is structured as a competitive, reimbursement-based funding program with applicants proposing “turnkey” charging station projects.
As of 2025, ODOT has issued awards for 13 EV charging stations under NEVI, totaling nearly $8.8 million. Of the remaining $57.5 million, ODOT plans to use $33.2 million to build out charging along remaining highway corridors and $14.3 million to build community-based charging in non-corridor locations. Together, these investments will ensure that Oklahomans and travelers passing through are supported by EV charging during long-distance interstate travel as well as local and regional trips.
Under NEVI, ODOT will cover up to 80% of awarded project costs through its federal allocation, or a maximum of $1.2 million per site, whichever is lower. The remaining share of project costs are to be funded by awardees.
Charging infrastructure funded under NEVI must meet high standards for operability set by the federal government, including:
- Each station must have at least four charging ports
- Stations must provide Combined Charging System (CCS) Type 1 connectors
- DC fast stations must be capable of delivering 150kW to each charging port simultaneously
- Level 2 stations must be capable of delivering at least 6kW to each charging port simultaneously
- Each charging port must have an average annual uptime greater than 97%
- Chargers must be accessible and compliant with ADA standards
ODOT will hold additional Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to make new awards under NEVI, with the next one planned to take place in Spring 2026.
Entities eligible to receive NEVI awards are:
- 501(c) non-profit entities registered in Oklahoma
- Businesses registered with the Oklahoma Secretary of State
- Oklahoma government entities, such as local governments or higher education institutions
- Tribal organizations (as defined in Title 245 US Code Section 5304 (I))
There are no limits on the number of proposals submitted by a single entity.
Interested entities should refer to ODOT’s RFP for a complete set of program terms and requirements.

Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program for INCOG Region
The federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program provides a flexible funding source for state and local governments to fund transportation projects and programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its amendments. INCOG directs its allocation of CMAQ funding to alternative fuel vehicles and supporting infrastructure to reduce air pollution from mobile source emissions, with the goal of limiting local exposures to oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other harmful pollutants.
INCOG’s Transportation Planning Department and Tulsa Area Clean Cities program jointly administer the region’s CMAQ grant program.
Eligible applicants are public agencies located principally within the Tulsa Transportation Management Area (TMA). INCOG’s most recent round of CMAQ awards (2024) called for projects from the following entity types:
- Public agencies (cities, towns, or counties)
- Tribal Nations
- Public school districts
- Public Trust Authorities
- Public transit agencies
While CMAQ funding must be under the primary control of a public agency, public-private partnerships may be awarded funds in certain circumstances.
Funding Availability
- INCOG structures CMAQ as a reimbursement program, meaning that applicants must finance the entire project through successful completion, only after which funding can be released for reimbursement
- INCOG typically administers a round of CMAQ awards once every few years
- Eligible projects may be funded at a maximum of 80% federal CMAQ funds and a minimum of 20% non-federal funds
CMAQ funding announcements are posted to INCOG.org. TACC also announces calls for CMAQ projects on this website and in our newsletters. Sign up for our mailing list today.
Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) for INCOG Region
The federal Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) provides funds for projects designed to reduce transportation emissions from on-road highway sources. CRP funding can be used in a wide range of transportation projects to align with local priorities and goals. INCOG is a formula recipient of CMAQ funding and has directed its allocation of CRP dollars to supplement regional Transportation Alternatives funding priorities including safe routes for pedestrians, safe routes for bicyclists, multipurpose trails, accessibility improvements for active transportation, and streetscape projects.
